Are you running a factory straight six in your '66 GMC or a 305 V6? All of these variables make a difference in the components you will need to perform this convenience upgrade. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 25 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 25 | modern power steering conversion and its a factory straight 6 250 engine.

PM CaptainFab over on the 67-72 forum. He sells good product and good instructions.
The tricky part is locating the brackets to mount the pump on your inline 6. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | 4-5-6 has the brackets for the 6 cyl. engine. There is no complete kit but there is plenty of info to gather it all up.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 25 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 25 | what about the factory power assist

I fabricated a bracket for the gearbox and another one for the power steering pump to bolt to the engine. Total cost of the brackets, less than $3.00. I used a 1990 Surburban power steering gearbox and a 2001 Tahoe power steering pump. Total for those two, $45.00 at the local salvage yard. Total power steering conversion for my 1960 C-10, including gas to go to get stuff, V-belt, and two meals, $72.00. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2009 Posts: 7 | got any pics of your work a1? | | |
