Also, the 350 is coming from a 79 Chevy 3/4 ton that has power steering... I noticed the frame for the 65 is already "predrilled" for bolting on the gear box from the 79. By predrilled I mean that there are already holes in the frame that would make it very easy to bolt on the other gear box or at least it seems to be very close anyways. I have looked over both set ups very closely and I am wondering if the gear box from a 79 would easily swap out and if so, do I have to make any mods beyond that point in order to get power steering on my 65.
Thanks

I,m getting ready to do it on a 58. The best way to mount the power steering gear is to get the kit that most aftermarket supplies sell. You can mount it but it doesn,t fit right & you have to stack washers between the gear & frame. I don,t remember what pitman arm you use but the direction sheet with the adapter tells. Your column should bolt up & you might have to bend the tubes on the hoses.
