Cool Project! I did a 605 box conversion in a 55 Chevy 10 years ago and the factory pitman arm spline does indeed match up.

Here are a few photos of the crude mounting bracket I made to accomplish this.

Got the #605 box today…… Pitman arm and the box have the same splines...... Amazingly two of the stock frame bolt holes lined up perfectly ……. I will just need to add 1 hole for mounting...… Got Lucky.....Aftermarket steering column on order along with universal joints allowing for any slight mis-alignment......and after getting the box mounted it looks like we will have room for Headers if required........

The frame is not similar to the normal 55-57 Chevy Frames...… The box is now permanetly.in place...… The upper two mount holes lined up and I was going to drill a 3/4" hole thru the frame and weld in a piece of round rod with a bolt hole in it for the third bolt......After I started drilling the hole with a smaller size drill I noticed there was a frame gusset in the frame....... Ended up I just drilled the hole thru to suit the mounting bolt and everything cleared perfectly right next to the gusset so there was no need to weld the tubing in for support...... Too simple...… Just had to shim the box out about an 1/8" to clear interference between the box and the frame...…..

Got the steering column in and got the connection to the box finished ……… Going to put a Patch panel on the Passenger side Floor pan .....… I'll be welding that in today after treating the floor with some Rust remover to get rid of the surface Rust, then treating the floor with Boeshield to help prevent further surface rust...… Engine will be here tomorrow and then the real assy will begin

Got the Floor patch panel welded in today and got the drivetrain delivered to the house...… I thought I was going to be able to save Jeff and Judy some $$ by being able to use the as delivered oil pan..…… Wrong...…. Luckily I have a new 302-2 Holley pan in the garage...….. It will have a new home shortly...….
