69 Z/28 manual steering box
 

I am looking for a April to June dated manual Z/28 close ratio steering gear box.
Thank you!

Manual box was the same as a standard non fast ratio, the pitman arm was 1/2" longer for the Z-28, from 5.25 to 5.75 inches. This should make your box search easier.

Thank you!

I have one out of a 69 Z28 that I was holding on to its been refinished and rebuild to concourse standards I can check the date but it's not going to be cheep if you are interested

What's the casting number on the gear supposed to be? I have a 5679142 with a date of A1759 if that's what you're looking for.

I will double check but it sounds to me like the correct casting number and if I am decoding the date correctly it would be the 175th day of 1969 which was June 23rd. That would be perfect for my 07A car. Can someone please confirm if I have decoded this correctly? If it is correct for my car I will PM you for a price. I do have a correct Z/28 pitman arm that I've had for years so this would fix me up.
Thank you!

Yes, please check your date. I will be doing a concourse restoration on my 69 Z, so I am interested. Thank you!

6667ss138,

The box BLACKLS5 has is the correct one.....If your happy with that date, which is also correct like you indicated then go for it. Dave

Thank you, Dave!

I checked the date on mine and it is 332 of 68
