: : No luck with Bruce Industries. However, they put me in touch with an outfit in San Jose, CA that can supply any of the Saginaw 800 series boxes if I can tell them which is the correct one. Help please. Thanks.
: One other thought...
: I've heard that the later WM300 PWs had a power steering option. I don't know very much about the civilian PWs, but if this is true, maybe the steering gear would bolt onto an M37. Anyone know more about this?
I just did some further checking. The civilian WM300 PW box apparently won't work very well, since it goes inside the frame instead of outside. However, the same source (Dave, e-mail: jobrated@wave.net) told me that a power steering box from a '72 to '76 W100 through 300 would be a good box to use on the M37. He said it's a Ross box with bracket and would require some modification (I assume he probably means the bracket). You might want to check with him for more details. Whatever you find out, let me know, eh?
