Did my '62 about 2 years back. Suggest that you consider buying a complete kit which will include all the stuff including the PS lines. There are probably vendors on this site and others like Classic Industries, LMC, etc that have the kits. This is what I did. Although a kit will cost you more than cobbling together your own parts, everthing you need will be there, parts will be new or rebuilt, and will fit.

I went the cheap way, bought a REZ kit from Classic Parts of America & used a box from a donor 1980 C10.

Dave,

I did the switch (upgrade) last year, here are the pictures.

Do not buy the REZ kit, it is really made for the 63-66 frame. It will not bolt up the best way. IF you have the 60-62 you will need to get the Classic Performance Products (CPP) kit, you also get the steering shaft adaptor, which you will need to shorten the shaft.
