conversion to power steering
I am hoping to install power steering in my 1968 GMC pickup 230/6 cyl, 3 speed column, looking for advice, ideas, or a thread here I can look at. Thanks

Re: conversion to power steering
Ideal method:
*Purchase junk truck that has the exact same engine set up as yours *Set junk truck next to your truck *Remove components one at a time from each truck and install the PS components on your truck *Place Manual parts in a storage container under your workbench *Strip any other useful parts off junk truck *Sell remains of junk truck to a junk yard (preferably for as much as you paid for it) *Drive your truck Ideal = method I used |
Re: conversion to power steering
I agree with the Ideal method. But sometimes that’s hard to do. Power steering setups for the non-integral head 6 cylinders are in demand and command premium pricing compared to the V8 trucks.
Becoming a paying member here and put a wanted ad in parts section. eBay has some conversion kits using aftermarket parts. |

Re: conversion to power steering
With the scarcity and high cost of PS brackets for the inline 6 these days, there are alternative methods to get power steering into your truck if you're not worried about keeping it stock.
