I want to upgrade to P/S on my truck. I have the frame exposed and have printed the Classic Trucks article on how to do it but I'm confused on a few things.

http://www.classicperform.com/power6066.htm

I understand I need to purchase 1969-'87 2wd, Chevy truck power steering gearbox and pitman arm. But what type or model of pump do I look for. Also, I will need to buy the frame plate that a lot of truck outfitters sell.


I have the oem unit but everyone tells me to upgrade to a more modern unit because after I get through buying new high pressure hoses and fittings it would have been cheaper to upgrade, I don't know what way to go, any thought on this?


About 2 years ago I bought the OEM P/S setup for my truck form another member (either here on this BB or on Jolly's 60-66 BB). I have the 305 V-6 and will need to use the OEM brakets I have. I also have the upper and lower 2 groove pulley set so I'm OK on that end.

Anybody did this before. They sell a complete af kit buy It probally won't fit my application and it like $700+ yikes.

Any help appr. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time trying to get my mind wrapped around this.


Thanks
Jake
