Hello everyone I have a 55 second series 3200 with power steering 235. I put the power steering kit on last Christmas love it! I was thinking of putting disk brakes on the front. I put the dual master cyl. on it a couple years ago.
The question is has anyone on the forum done this and was there a problem with the new drag link setup with the power steering kit ?. It has not been dropped it's is still stock suspension.
I had a power steering kit that used that type of steering arm on my daily driver '57 GMC 1/2 ton. I would not recommend it. Luckily, it happened at a dead stop, backing out of my driveway.
It also had a bad case of bump steer, which I attributed to the very short drag link.

With out pictures I am assuming you did the conversion with the power steering outside the frame and not inside in stock box location. I did my 56 3200 the power steering in the stock location(inside rail) with stock drag link. Also ran disc brakes up front with a hydroboost setup on frame rail. Drives fine if properly aligned. (really bad if not aligned) I also added a front sway bar as well. Drives fine but some bump steer due to it still being a straight axle and you hit a large pot hole. there is more play in the steering wheel than I would like but that I believe is related to the steering box itself and the rag joint and the larger steering wheel all adding up a small amount of play. .
