Hi Rick, sorry no one responded to you yet. I am doing a full frame off restoration on a 62 Parisienne 2 dr HT. The body and motor rebuild are pretty well documented on this site. To answer your question, order anything and everything mechanical for a 62 Impala. If you order for Pontiac you'll get parts for American Pontiacs and nothing fits. I am using Chev floor pans, had to modify them because of the differences in the outer skins but they work well. Same response for your glass questions, order Chevy from your local glass supplier.

If you are staying with period correct steering, the one steering box is used for standard and power. Power steering in these old girls is actually power assist. I got my new parts from Classic Industries, not sure if there are any Canadian suppliers that carry this stuff but there may be. I got a kit and rebuilt my steering box, it's pretty simple.

The fuel tank you can get from your local NAPA store and save a ton on freight and exchange.

New body parts, other than the floor pans i mentioned, are not available anywhere, you'll have to make or get a parts car with good ones.]

Happy to help in any way I can. Feel free to private message me any time.

Glenn, there is a difference in the ratios of the power steering box and standard steering. Fuel tanks are made by spectra premium in Canada, they make the best tanks. Frequently they are cheaper to buy in the USA. I use Rock Auto site to find part brands and numbers, check under1962 Chevy for mechanical stuff. You can use their part numbers and brands for ordering locally. They are also good to order from. There is a 5% CP code in Lounge forum.

 Looks like I stand corrected on the steering box ratio, but the steering box in 62 is the same regardless if it's power or standard.  Power Steering is more of a power assist the hoses connect to a hydraulic shock.
