I am seriously considering it and am wondering if there are any "watch out for" moments in doing this? It appears that 68-72 steering boxes are interchangeable (at least what I have read elsewhere) and the parts, both salvage and rebuilds are readily available.

Thoughts/comments welcome.

I ask this question because a friend of mine had his new, expensive battery stolen out of his 1966 Chevy 2, probably by some junky looking to get $5.00 from the recycling plant. So it got me thinking about my 1972 Cutlass and its brand new expensive battery. Is relocating it into the truck a smart, easy or worthwhile thing to do? If so what is the best means of doing it? The only other options I could come up with is the expensive internal hood locker from some of the repro part stores. Or maybe rig the thing up with a bike lock or something.
