Thread: Power steering on a 235?

Tweet

Hey all, I just bought a 1954 chevy 1/2 ton pickup with the original 235 engine which runs great. I am going to keep the engine but I want to change to power steering. Is there a kit out there with a bracket that will mount to the engine for the power steering pump? Ohh yea, the truck has a straight axle front end on it if that matters.
Thanks,
Jamie

Anyone?

1960 chevy impala had 235 with power steering,,,so it cant be that hard to swap over.
And make sure those King Pin bushings are in good shape,,,take it to an older alignment shop where the guy's know what they are doing. "No disrespect intended to the younger guy's"

Thanks a lot, ill look into that.

Jamie, did you look at www.chevyduty.com www.chevsofthe40s.com (yeah that has 50's truck parts)? Check that out. I read on that to change to power steering and I think what I read said something about getting most of the parts you need for these trucks out of a C 10 but I do not remember what all it was you can use from the C 10.
Good luck!
