'55 Chevy 3600 Steering Gear Box and Column Question #1329849 10/14/2019 5:59 AM

Do any of you know if the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton steering gearbox and column are the same for these years? I'm looking for an original gearbox with steering column and want to know if they're compatible. Thank you for your expertise!

PICS https://i.postimg.cc/CxvW1NJJ/1aa.jpg & https://i.postimg.cc/kXJ1bS2H/3.png & https://i.postimg.cc/zXxdSfWG/4.png IMO.......a replacement steering gearbox must come from a 1954 to 1955 1st. series .

I made it into a very readable pdf.file . If you'd like a copy give me your email address and I'll email you a copy .
