I posted this on the general truck section and that might be the reason why I have got not much information for this 1968 Dodge D200 automatic
With a manual steering box
It had a lot of play before I took it out to get it rebuilt locally
Once I got the it back it didn’t had any play and it was very hard to turn by hand
Once I put it back on the frame and connected the steering wheel column the damn thing spin around and around it had no stop and I had connected the lower control arm
The shop told me it had 3 turns to the left and 3 turns to the right well I did over 5 turns to either side before I stop trying
I took it out today and taking it back
 
So my question is
Is the steering box so delicate? I didn’t drop it I did hit the frame a few times before I was able to align the holes but I don’t think it does any damage to it
I’m thinking the shop didn’t do a good rebuild and I’m hoping they will fix it
