I put a vega box on my 67 camaro years ago. It will bolt right on but we used the original pitman arm. Had to have the center machined out and then the spline portion of the vega pitman arm cut off and turned down to fit. Welded in when fitted. I read that is how it was done somewhere and did it. I think you can buy one the correct length now. Not sure where.
It will lose a little weight and free up some header space but the steering is quicker and requires more effort.
Maybe Ed Quay sells them as they install those boxes on 82-92 camaros.
Also I thought the vega and S10 were the same box.
