So, just to confirm, the pitman arms are different for power and manual steering? I can’t use the ps arm I have on a manual box?

Yeah, the norm any more is snark and abuse. Finding friendly knowledgable help is nice for a change. This car is a 1950 Plymouth Suburban Wagon built with the Volare clip up front and the complete Volare slant/6- 904 drivetrain (only 38K miles on the drivetrain). It’s sort of a...

Thanks for the reply and all the info! The car has the complete drivetrain from a 78 Volare sedan. I was thinking that the 24/1 might be best since I’m using the old manual steering large diameter wheel from the 50 Plymouth. Do I have that logic right? Or should I use the later 16/1 if...

I am looking for a manual steering box for a 78 Plymouth Volare. I know there are different ratios, which one would you recommend? The car is an old 50 Plymouth wagon with a slant/6 and just for cruising around.

Wanted: Looking for a manual steering box for Volare/Aspen. What ratio do you have?

I’ve got a 50 Plymouth Suburban wagon built on a 78 Volare chassis. I want to swap the power steering for manual. Any advice on finding a good used or rebuilt box? Anything else need to be changed to make the swap?

Tks, I found a 5” set I’m thinking about buying.

I am looking for Mopar Cop Wheels in the narrow widths, like 6" and 5". I've read they were made, but have yet to see any for sale. Do you have one, two, three or four?

Gents, I am looking for a complete engine compartment wiring harness for a 78 Volare, slant/6. I have this drivetrain in my 50 Plymouth. Anybody have a parts car? Or a source to buy an aftermarket one? I only need the wiring for the ignition system.

Bud, I think you are on the right track. Those parts are what I was planning to pull off a Volare or Aspen. Did not occur to me to go on Ebay. Car will be a mild driver, so standard Mopar alternator and charging setup. I have a new in the box complete wiring harness, but the connections to...

Thanks! Glad to have found you. My all time favorite car was my 78 Volare. My current car will be a Volare in Suburban clothing! Here's some pics, not much to look at yet, but solid and rust free. Sat for 30 years in the Arizona desert and then another 20 in a California barn. The builders...

I am building a 50 Plymouth Suburban that has a Volare sub-frame and slant/6 drivetrain. I need the complete ignition wiring harness for under the hood. I'd like to have all the wiring under the hood if possible. AC brackets for the small compressor. Brake distribution block and steel brake...

Gents, I am a lifelong Mopar guy and have owned more that a few Volares and Aspens, all slant 6 powered. Currently I am building 50 Plymouth Suburban wagon that was built on a 78 Volare frame and drivetrain. They did a good job, but there are things missing. Also, its been 35 years since I...
