Sorry it's going on a 99 frame. And you can move this to 98-02 section.

IMO id stick to the 80-91 steering boxes they dont break unless you run no powersteering, Ive seen a few break at the splines but not often

I've heard a manual box off an older s-10 works well

I run the stock gear box that came with the car. I don't run powersteering and have never broke a gear box not even in my 94 up lincolns.

I always run power steering. For 2 reasons. First the only car I didn't run it in was a 71 olds and I broke the box. Just didn't have time to hook it up. And second I'm a smaller guy so it's a whole lot easier to turn that wheel lol

If u buy a manual steering box for a 68 to 70 camaro,chevelle or nova. There have a 25 to 1 ratio. U can turn them without even trying. My 6 yr old can turn the wheel easily to give u an example.its like running power steering but obviously no power steering.
