1949 Chevy Pickup
A friend of mine showed up with a 49 Chevy P/U. He would like power steering. I suggested a sub frame with all the advantages but he wants to keep it original
????? I was thinking of just changing the gearbox to power anyone have any ideas what will or will not work. I can make the P/S pump bracket thats not an issue.
Thanks guys

I was at the little local car cruise last night and one guy showed up with a little 32 ford he had fabricated the power steering setup for. He had used the mid 60s Mustang Fairlane/58-64 (?) Chevy control valve/slave cylinder setup. It was an interesting concept and apparently assisted well, however the execution left a bit to be desired (hose routing).
Even with that setup you’d be into for at least $500 in parts, plus a whole lot of fabrication time.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Since we're spending other people's money let's see how much his wife really means to him. No pumps or plumbing, fairly compact: Flaming River's Electronic Steering System - Rod And Custom MagazineYour Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Unc,
That EPAS would certainly put her (or him) to the test.
