As we all know, nothing just 'swaps =n= bolts' right in w/ our beloved Mopars.
So, what is needed to go from Power Steering to Manual?

My car is a 1968 Barracuda Convertible: 318/4spd. FWIW, I just converted the car over to post-1973 Disc brakes & Upgraded the Front End (Bigger BJoint UCAs, New Lwr BJoints, C-Body Tie Rods, etc). This thing has a real nice & tight Front Suspension, but coupled with the 7+ inches (!!!) of play from my Pwr Steering Box (not connected), it's a recipe for disaster.

OR

Is it simple enough to rebuild the Steering Box (Pwr) & stay w/ Pwr Steering?

I'm sure this question has been posed before, if so, I'm happy to be directed to the link.
Thanks in advance.
 
I appreciate that link. I should be so lucky to find one in a yard around me.
So, for this swap, it looks like I need:
1) Steering shaft
2) Steering Coupler
-& Possibly -
3) Matching Pitman Arm (Or was this because the /6 Box is different than the V8? Which case, a V8 =to= V8 Box swap = No need for the diff Piman Arm)

Obrigado (thanks)
 
....oh yeah, I suppose that I'd need:
4) the Steering Box....
