66 Sterring Box Casting HELP!

[David M.]

Which is correct???? I have one steering box on the car that is supposed to be restored but I believe has only had new gear grease put in it and painted outside nice. Then I have another I purchased that is supposed to be off of a 66 corvette. It has the check lube top on it and more casting markings on the side than the one on the car. What are these extra markings on the side? I am posting pics of both, please advise me which one is the correct one for my car.

Your pics are a little fuzzy, so here's shots of a late '65 MY steering box.

Thanks Wayne....Thats what I need. I am going to rebuild it. I have the kit, the correct NAT bolts and check lube top and exact same casting as yours on the side. Is there any advise to do or watch out for when I am restoring this steering box myself? The other box that is on my car must be for a 68-82?
