Also is there any company that makes a oem style replacement steering box set up for power steering?? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 863 | Not that I'm aware....

Bill | | | | | Joined: May 2008 Posts: 88 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2008 Posts: 88 | I had a feeling that the column would have to come out of the bottom of the cab. does anyone make a new power steering column that mounts thru the oem frame holes and uses the stock pitman arm?? I was thinking of using the column out of my 1982 c-10 but i have never done a transplant like that before also the steering box mounts the pitman arm down and not thru the frame like the stock 59 does. my replacement motor has a good ps pump and hoses i just need a box to fit them to. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | The specialty parts suppliers have a kit to install the GM power steering gear to the older trucks. I havn't done one yet but am contimplating it on my 58. Some also use the Toyota 4X4 box although i'd hate to put anything from a foriegn vehicle on mine.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.
