Ok, I think I am set on converting my 57 3100 to power assisted disc with under frame booster and keeping the 6 bolt setup.

Now I need some advice on power steering. I want to keep the stock column, unless someone can tell me of a way to put a modern column without it looking like a coble job. I have read about using late model Saginaw pump, anyone have experience with this? Thnaks!

There is also lots of information posted on this subject, numerous opinions, and lots of suppliers.
It's a good idea to replace the ball stud tie rod ends with the newer type on any power steering conversion.
I used a Toyota conversion with a conventional GM pump. I also retained the stock column with the original column shifter. You can get the kits from various suppliers. I prefer these guys.
