Thanks! PAYPAL sent.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Would you happen to have any info on where I could find the pump brackets?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

There is a seller on ebay that fabricates some nice PS, alt and AC brackets for the Chevy I6 engines. Have you checked in the '67-'72 classifieds here on the forum? They show up over there every so often also.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I have a 62 chevy truck that I need a power steering adapter plate and power brake booster adapter for. I have an excellent donor car (1975 monte carlo). Can I use the power steering box, steering column and power brake booster from this car with your adapter plates?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I do not yet have a power steering box adapter plate for the '60-'62's. Hopefully in the next few months. However I have sold a few of these to guys that have made them work on their '60-'62's. You can not use any car steering box on your truck. It must be from a '68-'86 C series or '87-'91 R series pickup, Suburban or 2wd K5 Blazer.

I am not familar with the Monte Carlo boosters, so I do not know if they are compatable with my booster bracket. Does your truck have an auto trans or does it still have a manual trans with the hydraulic clutch?

As for the steering column, most anything can be done if you want to put the work into it to make it work. In other words, it will not be a simple bolt in swap.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

hi - fixin to buy all the parts to FINALLY get PS on my 70 C10...do I need one of these brackets for the 70 model?

thanks!
:metal:

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Hello Captain.
I recently purchased one of your adapter plates.
I will start with what I have, I ordered my parts for a 70 chev pick-up. My truck is a 65 C20
Cardone 27-7501 box which has the Saginaw # 7802644 on it.
Moog K 6131 pitman arm.
The differences are that on the template the center of shaft to center of pitman arm measurement is 6 1/2 inches.
The measurment of pitman arm is 6 1/4 inches.
Do I have the wrong pitman arm ?
Or is the quarter inch nothing to worry about.







As expected your plate and steering shaft adapter look great.

Thanks

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

No you do not need this adapter plate. A power steering box will bolt right up to your frame. The trucks from '68 up were available with integral power steering, so the frame will accomodate the box.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

thanks Cap - preciate the quick response you rock!

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

The pitman arms should be 5-1/4" center to center. I just checked the template and it does show to be 5-1/2". I did not realize that. I will have to see about correcting that. The main thing to be concerned with is the hole locations.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Thanks for getting back so fast.
I did forget that when I took those measurments I started at 1 inch on the tape.
Interesting no one else picked up on that.
Good thing is I have the right Pitman.

Thanks Cal.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I have a local friend (non member) that needs a plate for his '63 2wd. Is there a way he can contact you directly? Do you take pay-pal or what are you payment options?
I also sent you a PM

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I replied to your PM :)

Here is a helpful thread for those of you that have 4x4's and are installing power steering.

Hello captainfab, do you still have the brackets for sale? PM me?
I have a 64 c30 and am using an 86 c20 suburban to swap everything.
Thanks.

Hi Captainfab,
just wondering if you have had a chance to make up an adapter plate for the '60-'62 frames yet or if you will have one in the near future? I hope to do the conversion on my '62 in the next 2-4 weeks.

Also wondering if any of you guys that have installed Captinfab's adapter plate on your '60-'62 frames can give any feedback on how the plate worked and if there were any modifications (from the instructions supplied) needed to make the plate work? Pics of your '60-'62 install would be great too, could not find any on this thread.
Thanks.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I do not yet have a power steering box adapter plate for the '60-'62's. It's been tough to get this done with Winter, still working 70-80 hrs a week and trying to make room in my shop to work on it. I haven't given up, but I can not make any promises as to exactly when I will get it done.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

i am new to all this, so please excuse my ignorant question. currently working on my 1965 c10 and was wondering, whats the purpose of the adapter plate? does it serve as a extra support for gear box?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

The adapter plate is needed to install a '68-'87 power steering box to the '60-'66 frames as the power steering box is not flat on the side that bolts to the frame.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

thanks Captainfab for the info :c2:. might be getting one from you soon, i believe the previous owner of my 65' did not use something like that, tried looking around and see nothing. one last newbie question: my steering shaft looks to be about an inch or so too long with steering box it now has, can i just cut the shaft to length and then secure it somehow to the rag joint?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

When installing power steering, the steering column shaft must be shortened. The installation instructions give you the exact measurement and show you how to reuse the original flange. However if you do not have a drill press and a welder, the tube and flange that I sell makes the connection very easy.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Thanks again for the great info Captainfab . How much do you sell this kit for? and you mention that instructions are included right?, as I mentioned before I am learning as I go, zero experience under my belt, so all your info is greatly appreciated.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

The price for just the steering box adapter plate is still the same as in post #1 of this for sale thread........$60.00 shipped. If you also purchase the tube and flange the total is $81.65. Yes it comes with installation instructions and the locating template.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I have a 67, does it matter what years power steering unit i get to use the bracket? 71/72 ok?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

If your '67 is a 2wd, you do not need this adapter plate. All you need are four 1/4" spacers. I have those as well if you need them. All the truck baser steering boxes from '68-'87 are interchangeable. You do not have to have a '71/'72 box.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Thank you for the information, just make them out of plate steel then..

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Yes that is what I have them cut out of.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Captain,

I sent you a PM inquiring about purchasing the power steering plate and steering tube.

Best,

Fred

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Will 67-87 steering box for 4wd fit a 68 4wd?And will i need the plate?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

You will want a steering box from a '69-'87 K series truck. I do believe that on a '68 K series, the adapter plate is needed. Is the frame flat where the steering box is located? If so, you will need an adapter plate.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

OK, I'm too impatient to look through all 18 pages for the answer to the question I have...
60-62 frame, do you make a P/S adaptor for the 60-62 frame horn?




:5150:

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

No not yet. I've been trying to get that done for 2 years now, just not enough time. I have sold a few of these adapter plates to guys that have installed them on their '60-'62's.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Hi
Just wanted to say Thanks Captinfab for the steering adapter and Rag joint
And the Fast shipping..Fits perfect
Thanks Very Much!!!!

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I'm glad to hear that you are happy with your power steering adapter plate and tube and flange.

Thanks I appreciate the business :)
