I just saw the manual steering conversion on Dearborn Classics website for $189. You can make that part yourself. Also if you just remove the hydraulic slave cylinder completely isn't that making it manual? Gearing won't be the same as a true manual but effectively works like a manual, right? Right now I don't have the end of my hydraulic slave cylinder connected to the frame and I just steer it (in and out of the garage) by hand (no steering wheel just turning the gearbox).

Why go through all of this
trouble and expense when it's not that hard to find a complete manual steering setup? Greg, correct me if I'm wrong but all that has to be changed is the box, pitman arm and the idler arm. I see that you live in Kent. I live in Niles OH and can tell you where there is a boneyard where you can likely find the parts. It's Bob's Auto Wrecking in Milan....up by Sandusky. On my last trip up there in the late suummer, there was a complete '64 Custom 4-door with the parts you need. Bob's doesn't crush older cars so I'm relatively sure it's still there.
