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.

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.

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

thanks

Captainfab 02-11-2012 12:48 AM

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.

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?

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

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.
