Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

If you are keeping the drum brakes, then you can keep the original draglink, idler arm, and tie rods. If you are converting to discs, then if you keep your original steering linkage, you will need to change at least the outter tie rods. There is an off the shelf tie rod that allows you to do this without the need for the expensive adapter sleeves, but I don't have that part number. You might try posting the question, here on the forum, Someont here posted the number not long ago. I wasn't concerned with it, as I always change all the steering linkage to the later model components. That requires locating and drilling new holes for the idler are though. It isn't difficult if you just take your time and use the original for a reference.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Thanks for the information. That's what I was hoping. I already have new 2 1/2" drop spindles, new tie rod ends and adjusters, and the idler arm and steering linkage installed. I temporarily put the stock manual gear on so I could manuver the truck to work on it. Right now I'm in the process of redoing the rear of the frame and suspension.

Capt., I'll be ordering your adapter as soon as I finish up the rear suspension upgrades. Thanks, Brett

Hey john, as you knowI bought this bracket from you a week ago (looks very high quality btw) and I was just wondering, will this fit 60-66? I originally bought it for 65 but I need another one fr 61. Thanks!

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

:lol::lol:

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

The current adapter plate works only on the '63-'66's. I have been wanting to design one for the '60-'62's but just haven't had time.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Id feel better if that was the case I have all the time in the world right now. Going through demobilization trying to get back home lots planned once I get there. Build thread is coming.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Another satisfied customer of Captainfabs plate. The truck is at the shop getting aligned after completing power disc brakes, new suspension, and now POWER STEERING!!!! The only thing I would suggest is not messing with pre made hoses. That was the worst part of the job. I should have just had them made........

Thanks for the kind words :)

Captin,
Do you make a plate for a 68 or 69 c10!?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

You do not need an adapter plate for those years. Your frame should already have the 4 holes in the correct location, and the frame should be contoured so you can just bolt up a power steering box. That is unless yours happens to be different than the ones I have worked on here.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Well then :metal:
The current box only has 3 bolts mounting it, but there is a fourth at the top of the frame at the rear.
Guess that saves me 1 more step.
Sorry I couldn't drum up more business for ya but thanks for the input.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Is the 73-87 power steering box for a c20 the same as for a c10?

thanks

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Yes the steering box is the same for C10, C20 and C30.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

If I'm looking for a 2wd power steering box for my 65, what years newer than 73-87 can I use? or is 87 the last year that works with the 60-66 trucks?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

The compatable power steering boxes are from '68-'87 for the C10, C20 and C30 pickups, Suburbans and 2wd K5 Blazers. The only newer boxes that will work would be from the '88-'91 R1500, R2500 Crewcabs, Suburbans, and possibly Blazers. I just don't know for sure if there were any 2wd Blazers in those years.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Cap if you could send me the info for purchasing one of these PS adapter plates that would be great, I plan on purchasing one here in the next few weeks. Thanks in advance.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Help me out here. I've been searching for the best solution for brakes and steering and keep winding up looking at John's cool stuff! I've got a '67 C10 with a front disc conversion. I for sure want to do PS/PB and use the Hydra-Boost set up. Problem is, I've got the 292 L6, which I'll have to run until I can fund the small block swap, probably next winter. Seems that pump brackets for this in-line engine are rare and expensive. Anyone fab a pump mount for this?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Cap

Please pm ordering info for a ps mount bracket. Thanks, Mark

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

On a '67 you shouldn't need this power steering adapter plate. The '67's I've seen/worked on, just need four 1/4" spacers. As for the 292 PS pump brackets, there was an ebay seller that was making some nice ones.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

A PM coming your way...

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I need to purchase another power steering bracket. This one is going on my 65.
Thanks
