I added power steering on my 67 283 'Burb and did not have to dimple the frame. It already had the raised bosses. I was fully prepared to do it, but was very happy when I discovered I did not have to. BTW I used a power steering box off a 86 3/4 Burb and pump and brackets off a '68 Impala that had a 307 with short water pump. I had to swap the fitting on the back of the pump for the metric threaded fitting. ( I got that idea from TX Firefighter.) I already had the 86 pump so it did not cost anything. It would seem that my story about the frame is not common since it is a 67 and everything I have read on here says that the frame should not have had the raised bosses on it. To the best of my knowledge it is an original frame.
