power steering conversion on '65 4x4 GMC
 
Hello,

Working on a conversion to put power steering on a 1965 4x4 GMC - truck has a 305 E V-6 with double alternator belts on it.

I got a pretty complete list from tuckerparts.com out of Henderson NV.

I am looking for a pitman arm for a '68-72' chevy 4x4

anyone know of a good source for that item or have one around?

Calling junk yards and not finding that piece.

Thanks

Mark

Pitman arm for a integral P/S box or a manual type box? If for an integral type box how is it different from the later boxes? Reason I ask is I have a '71 4x4 roller I am using & it has a manual box that is not gonna get used.

I .... am not sure. I just needed a pitman arm that was for a '68-'72 chevy 4x4 with power steering and that is what the part number was. Not much help for you.

customer want to put power steering on it. A place out of Henderson, NV., had the rest of the power steering parts,- no bracket though.

Post the need for the bracket on this sight:

Lotta v6 stuff there and you'll probably get what you need pretty fast. Also keep an eye on Ebay.
