steering box build date?
 
was wondering if the steering box has a build date to the car or just a general build date?trying to see if the one in my 69 is orig to car or not , has 092 Q stamped in top cover,thanks.

I believe the build date on the steering box cover is related solely to its manufacture and not the date it was installed on the car. I don't know this, just seems logical and I've never seen or read anything to the contrary.

I would say no

thats aprrox april 2 nd 1970 the info your supplying

your Q is probably a 0

I have a few 68 and 69 boxes if your looking for a date correct box
