Can a 61 valiant/ lancer k frame be swapped with a 62-66 k frame to use more standardized steering box and lower control arms?



Thanks Sages,

Greg

Yes.
Swap it all.
There is a guy on FABO who changed the K but left his frame mount steering box.
I don't think that was a good idea.

Okay. I figured that would be the case.

I would not leave that saginaw? frame mount box if I did this swap.

I think he had a rebuilt box, so wanted to keep it.
I think you will have to change or modify the column.
But it's a LOT better system. As you know just about unchanged till 1976.
