I am sure it has been done just looking for recipe, arthritis is making it difficult to drive.
I have a 1964 Dodge Polara 500.

thanks

You might consider electric PS. Do some research. I've seen junkyard units added very economically on the web.

BeepBeepRR suggestion is a good one.We installed the complete Borgeson set up on my buddy's 64 Polara wagon. He is very happy with how it drives.

If you are going stock you will need steering box, hoses, pump, brackets and steering column.

Probably need a different crank pulley as well.
I am looking at the borgeson option. Tired of the sloppy steering feeling. I thought about changing to manual steering instead though.
