    The dodge van A100 steering boxes have a steering shaft that goes all the way from the steering box to the steering wheel.
    Does not look the same as the one you are looking at on E bay

    I 'm thinking if the rest of the box is the same could you swap shafts ??? I never opened one up so i don't know ...

    The box is a car box. They mount inside the frame and sweep right to left, with the shaft angled down and back.
    A van box not only includes the steering column, they sweep front to back, with the shaft extending out to the left, parallel to the ground.

    In short, it is not a direct or even reasonable modified fit.

    I have had Steer-n-Gear rebuild several Mopar bxes for me and highly recommend them. Also if they rebuild it for you, have them to a firm feel rebuild. Its worth the extra $'s.
    They are in Columbus, Ohio.
