I've got neck/shoulder problems, and need to install ps on my 58 C60, or sell it.
Anybody have any ideas on which gearbox/arm may be transplanted with
as-little-as-possible fabrication/modification? I've got pics of truck and steering at:

Any advice will be appreciated, Thanks, Dan

I would look at a mid-70s C-60. You do NOT want the power steering system with the separate hydraulic cylinder. We had a c-65 with that and it was nothing but trouble. We ended up finding a power steering box from a bus that fit and worked perfectly.

Hey thanks Racecarl.
I'll get to the truck junkyard about 70 miles from here sometime soon and do some measuring--that is, if somebody doesn't buy it first-lol.
Hopefully they have some mid-70's I can go checkout first.
It's supposed to be a pretty big yard.
