1958-64 Chevy Impala, Belair & Biscayne Steering Parts
Find steering components for 1958-64 Chevy Impala, Belair, and Biscayne full-size cars. Choose power steering conversions, 600 and 605 Series gearboxes, steering columns, pumps, hoses, couplers, steering wheel components, and related parts for different steering configurations.
605, 600, or Manual Steering for 1958-64 Chevy
This collection revolves around three distinct steering paths. A 1958-64 Impala, Bel Air, or Biscayne can stay manual with a blueprinted Saginaw 525 gearbox, move to a 605 Series power setup, or use the later Delphi 600 Series approach.
The 605 and 600 choices are available as individual gearboxes and as broader conversion packages, allowing the project to start with the steering gear or expand into more of the power steering system at once.
From the gearbox, the installation reaches in two directions. The steering column, shaft connections, floor mounts, and adapters handle the driver side, while the pump, brackets, pulleys, hoses, and fittings supply the hydraulic side on power-assisted builds.
That makes gearbox choice the center of the page rather than just another component: once you establish the 525, 605, or 600 Series path, you can match the surrounding steering hardware to it.
FAQ
How do I choose steering parts for my 1958-64 Chevy Impala, Belair, or Biscayne?
Start with the exact year and identify the steering system currently installed. Determine whether the car has manual steering, a 605 Series power steering box, a 600 Series system, or another modified arrangement. Then check the steering column, shaft connections, engine, pump, hoses, and other components that need to work with the selected steering gear.
What is the difference between the 600 and 605 Series steering options?
They are different power steering gearbox designs and should not be treated as interchangeable simply because both are available for 1958-64 Impalas. POL offers separate 605 Series and Delphi 600 Series gearboxes as well as conversion packages built around each. Choose the system according to the components required for your particular installation.
Can I buy a complete power steering conversion instead of only the gearbox?
Yes. POL lists complete 1958-64 Impala power steering conversions in both 605 Series and 600 Series configurations. Individual gearboxes are also sold separately, making it possible to choose according to how much of the existing steering system needs to be replaced.
Are manual steering components available for 1958-64 full-size Chevys?
Yes. In addition to the power steering products, the collection includes a blueprinted Saginaw 525 manual steering gearbox. Check the steering linkage, column connection, and other components already on the car before selecting a manual replacement box.
Are steering column installation parts available?
Yes. The related 1958-64 Impala, Belair, and Biscayne column assortment includes adjustable floor mounts, GM-type wiring adapters, shift indicators, and other column components. Match these parts to the column installed in the car, particularly when an aftermarket column has replaced the original.
Can I change the steering wheel while working on the steering system?
Yes. POL carries a dedicated assortment of steering wheels and adapters for 1958-64 Impala, Belair, and Biscayne applications. Products include a GM-style column adapter, horn components, and several billet steering wheels. Check the column shaft, wheel mounting pattern, adapter, horn setup, and wheel position before choosing a combination.
What should I check if my 1958-64 Impala has already been modified?
Identify the components physically installed on the car. Check the steering gearbox, column, intermediate shaft and couplers, engine and accessory drive, power steering pump, hoses, and front suspension. Engine swaps, aftermarket columns, different steering boxes, and previous suspension changes can all affect which parts fit correctly.
