I would like to keep the truck as original as possible, so keep original steering wheel and no huge changes to the truck, but still enjoy an upgraded steering. Any suggestions on the how and what would be very welcome. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | Do a search on using the Toyota 4wd power steering box on an AD truck. Lots of articles and it is by far the easiest conversion to do. I have used them on anything with a straight axle and a straight ahead drag link, like an AD Chevy or 64 and older Ford.

Know if it's avaible yet. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2015 Posts: 16 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2015 Posts: 16 | Thanks for the suggestion.
I took al look at the power steering assist kit from CCP because it leaves the truck almost unchanged. Saw some good and bad reviews. But, doesn't matter, tried to order it in September 2014 and up till now CCP can't deliver. They are having some problems with soucing valves. And now I'm not sure if such an assist kit is the best way to go.
Finding a Toyota 4WD power steering is easy here. Finding parts for a Chevy 3600 from 1948 is difficult. I'm living in The Netherlands.
Will start a search to find a clear article on how to use power steering of a Toyota on a 3600.

Very helpfull links.
