Thanks Joel I gotcha now..... Circa CJ style..... which were AMC made items I believe. Jeeps historically have been a Hodge Podge of autoparts.

I have never looked at the YJ style guts so I wasn't familiar with them. Although I am by no means surprised it they "borrowed' a few items from GM.

I have built several large CJ's (Not to the extent of Brutha Nutzies Monster) and totally love the versatility of the beast.

Given Joels example I can see where this would be a low budget swap and make good sense for an easy bolt on, non OEM, lookie Maw ah kin turn da wheel wit one fanger kinda mod....... Tuxblacray2009-06-23 03:54:25

Joel if I have this right...I would install a power steering pump and this Jeep gearbox and hoses and that's it? That is certainly an interesting option. I will see if I can get anymore info on this here on my end. That would sure be an option some of us here could take advantage of.

From what I unnerstand, yes...it's supposed to be that simple. I do not know this to be 100% true, so we can't assume that doing anything on a Shark would be that simple...
I'll see if I can locate the info on it somewhere...

I remember seeing threads on this a couple of years ago on the Corvette Action Center boards.  The advantage the Jeep/GM box has over the Steeroids is it is a hell of a lot cheaper.  I think you have to modify the steering arm, but the box apparently bolts right in.

I'm wondering about what year model Jeep this thing would come off of, and did somebody say CJ. Since my Corvette is a 72 I'm thinking maybe about that same era.

Probably off a 90's Cherokee.
