A while a go, I got the power steering box and power brakes off a 1978 1/2 ton 2-wheel drive truck. My question is whether or not these use metric threads?
Thanks in advance.


Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

Actually, GM started using metric in '76, namely on power steering pumps and the NP203 T-case.

You are right, dang this gettin old is tough, I just realized the box on my 64 truck is metric, it was off a 1980 C10 I knocked in the head for parts.
