For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 24 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 24 | I just aquired a 63 3/4 ton stepside longgbed... it is VERY plain mechanically. No air No Power Steering Single line from master cylinder
I want to use the hydroboost system from 1 ton truck to upgrade my brakes... I want power steering as well... this truck is going to see heavy trailering duty... not just a show truck. Do I need to use the steering box from the donor 1 ton or diesel... has anyone here done the hydroboost conversion and have suggestions on what to do... not do ....I had a hydroboost on a diesel Chevy I had... never worked on it though... it never gave me a reason to... Will the box on a 1 ton bolt up on my 63??? front end is similar or alike isn't it??
The steering box on the 63 is bad right now and needs replacement.... I had not planned on the hydroost this early in the resto process but if Im going to have to put a steering box on anyway.. well, I might as well start the upgrade now ..
Any help here would be appreaicated..
Thanks, Kyle | | |
