Following a Gearvendors overdrive and rebuilding the engine, I pulled the trigger on the power steering kit from ABS. Here's a few pics of that.

I neglected to snap pics of the steering column being cut and the adapter welded on but you should be able to see that in the pics of the gearbox in place. With regards to manual steering, just call me Lefty Armstrong. BTW, thanks to Fred (that is one squared away soldier!) for all his help. Couldn't have done any of this without ya. Thanks Buddy!!!!

Yes. Mid 80's Toyota box. Hard to find. They engineered a bracket, pitman arm, drag link, steering column adapter. Comes with hoses as the Toyota box is metric and the GM pump is not.

How much did the kit run you? If you don't mind me asking.
Looks good. . .
