Starting on page 66, they show all the parts involved. They show (in pictures!) eveything you need to do to convert. Looks like a sweet set-up.

Which issue was that? I'm interested as well for the 49.
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

Patricks has a bracket set up for installing a/c on235/261 sixes,possibly you can mount power steering pump instead of a/c pump? I am going to look into it. old navy 51........... | | |

What was the outcome of Patrick's pulley? I want to do a P/S upgrade on my 59-235 so I'd like to hear from any body that has already done it. What pump did you go with etc?
