I bought one and did a dry fit and it appears to be a bolt on, from the frame to the pitman arm she bolted up real nice. I believe the pitman arm does have to be re-machined but they did that for me. Once I get everything back together I will post pic's, I'm doing alot while the 460's out so it may be awhile. ABS power brakes sells it.

I have installed one in my 57. Bolts right up and pitman arm was not a problem. I did have to shorten the steering column about 8 inches. It feels really good, very smooth and 3 1/2 turns lock to lock, with the front wheels off the ground ( without pump ) I have a pump purchased and will update when this is installed. At this point, I am very pleased with the box.

Drove my 57 yesterday with the ABS 567 steering box. The car drove really good with good road feel. I am using the stock 57-59 power steering pump. I like the improvement and would recommend this steering box. Note: it does require the steering column to be modified or replaced.

I changed my power steering pump to an electric pump from a Citroen Saxo . Works really good, smooth and quiet. The stock 57/59 pump would pulse really bad at low rpm. The electric works any time it has power. The electric pump and the 567 box is great.
