70 power steering swap

Hey guys I have a 70 c10 Lwb I have converted the front brakes to disc from a 71 setup now I'm considering up dating the steering I'm trying to decide wether I should just replace the sloppy manual box or upgrade it to a power unit. My main question is what all I need to change I know I would have to add a power steering pump and a power steering box but would I have to change the column or will a ps box bolt right up? And would I need to change any of the front suspension will the pitman arm ect... Thanks I'm advance for any advice

Re: 70 power steering swap

mine already came with a ps box. but im 99% sure it will bolt up to your steering column. no problem there. just make sure you get the correct ps pump. and the installation is a breeze. you dont need to make any adjustments what so ever. POWER STEERING is so much better. =)

PS pitman arm is different than the manual pitman arm.
