I have a 1970 340 Cuda . And the extra steering Box I have is a Manual box with the casting number 2537349-1A with the date code F108 C or G .
Will this part number fit my Cuda ?

I already know this , the part number and the casting number is always different. Because you will never find the casting number in the parts book or service manual .
So what I am asking is will this casting number 2537349 fit?
I believe it will fit :alan2cents:
So did Chrysler use the same manual steering box on a bunch of, or maybe all, models and over several different years? I have a box from a 68 Charger and I'm just wondering what other models and years it would fit. It's for sale if anybody knows of someone looking for one.
Found this article. Might be helpful.

Your date code appears to be 1970.
So it "should" work.
