65 quick steering adapters

Post by joewryan »

Does anyone know where I can find the 65 quick steering adapter arms? I'm having trouble finding them at my favorite suppliers.

What part are you trying to find? Quick steering arms or replacements for damaged arms on a car that has factory quick steering? Clark’s has quick steering arms on page 155 of their catalog. These arms are as described in the catalog and are made to be used with a standard non quick steering box.These arms are not replacements for factory quick arms.

The factory quick steering had a faster steering box and different steering arms. These parts must be found used if you are trying to add factory quick steering. Clark’s lists rebuilt quick steering boxes but you would need to source factory quick arms to use with it.

I have the factory box, and am looking for the aftermarket quick arms. Clarks is out of stock for 6-8 weeks, if then.

Hi Joelsplace. $100 for the fast steering adapters from Clarks, right? If so, I'll take them. Can you ship priority mail and I'll mail you a check for the mail + arms?

Your PM will remain in your Outbox until the addressed recipient actually opens it and reads it. Then it moves over to Sent Messages.

Them, but when I checked, they didn’t have any. Said they had rebuilt less than a half dozen in 10 or 15 years.
