Is a 68-69 SB and BB B body K member different?

I am trying to confirm but I never think about it when I'm at my shop, I remember being told there is no difference between a small block and big block K member in 68_69 B bodies. IN fact 70 may be the same and the difference in a 71 is the tilt of the steering gear box or maybe that change was in 70. So how much of this is true?

Thanks in advance, Kevin

The only BB and SB K member difference was on 73 and lates B body

Thanks folks.

That chart listed in the link isn't entirely correct. V8 K frames are not the same for 66 - 72 B and E bodies. Yes, the engine mounts are the same, but the angle that the steering box sits is different. I used to think that was BS until I set up a jig, and mounted 3 different k frames from 66 - 70 B bodies, and measured the angle of the steering box mount. They were all the same. I then mounted 3 different E body k frames to the same jig that had not been moved, and all 3 steering box angles were the same. BUT....there was a 3 degree difference in the angle between the B and E k frames where the steering box mounts. Would you notice a difference if you mounted an E body k frame in a B body, or vice versa? Probably not, but back in the day when they were just cars....you may have worn the steering coupler out after a lot of miles had the same swap been done. There's some more useless information to cloud your brain....lol.

Mmmm... dunno if 3 degrees angle is really a difference to be considered as a diff part. Why I say this? My 74 Charger ( yes I know, a diff monster ) got aligment shims between steering box and K member. So those 3 degrees could be considered as a tolerance when part is being manufactured, able to be corrected when assembling.

We know our cars are not a piece of art on precision at factory. Just looking at the low quality of welding seams of K members you can tell it.

So how do you tell the difference between the B and E body k-frames?

I understand what you did I - but how do you verify when looking at the part?

And is that angle difference towards the side of the car or vertically to the floor?

I believe it is vertical and I cant answer to the difference between B and E

68-69 B body K frame compared to E body is the sway bar mounting is very different

True but is there a way to tell a 70-71 B from an E?

That 3.5 degree increase is on the angle vertically to the floor. Ever notice someone driving an E-body and it looks like they are sitting on the floor. The E-body has a flatter steering angle column to match the lower seating.

No idea, never needed a K frame so never looked that hard at one to be honest

Me neither but I like info.
