Hey guys!

Ok, I bought a K-Member from my local salvage yard and although it looks the same, it has a (somewhat) major difference in the steering gear mounting.

On my existing K-Member on my 1966 Dodge Coronet 440, there are nuts welded in such a way, that the 3 bolts can easily mount the steering gear to the K-Member.

On the one I just picked up, there are no nuts. In fact, one of the three bolts (the one closest to the driver's side door) is just sticking out of the mounting hole with no way to get a wrench behind it to keep it from turning.

Is this typical or just an odd-ball K-Member?

Any suggestions?

I was told it was from a 1969 Coronet (but I have my doubts).

See first pix for a TYPICAL K-Member with welded nuts for mounting the steering gear.

The second pix shows the one I bought.

The third pix shows the problem area.

Thanks!
