Once I know it works the brackets will be available to those who want them. So far as I have not got any measurements for the later 235's and 261's yet, the bracket set will work for the 216 and early 235 (up to 1954). With the cost of getting the pieces cut out, welded together and such the set will run about $150. This is only a estimated cost.
So far the parts list is:
- a dodge power steering pump off of a dodge pickup, any year should work up to the year they switched to a serpentine belt setup. They are called a Saginaw P pump, commonly called a "canned ham pump" as the shape is very similar to a canned ham. A later pump may work as long as the shaft diameter did not change as it must be able to accept a dual groove v-belt pulley
- a dual groove V-belt pulley off of a GM truck, basically up to the last year until they switched to serpentine belt setups
I also found out that if you are going with a GM power steering box that mounts on the outside of the frame rail, that the pressure hose from the same dodge that you got the pump off will connect to the GM p/s box, but not the other way around. A GM pump has a different size fitting for the pump end and will not work with the dodge pump.
