Just bought a 76 C10 with 24000 orginal miles and 1 owner truck is in excellent condition. Straight 6 with 3 on the tree. Want to keep this truck but wife has a hard time driving it due to no power steering.
It did not come with it and I would like to ad it. I think it would be a easy mod. Looks all that would need to be done would to change the steering box, pitman arm and ad the pump-resvr. Water pump and crank pulley already have a un-used drive.
Dose any one know where to find or what is intailed in mounting the pump. What bracket set up do I need to look for, or out of what other application can I get one from.
Looked at parts had most of everything needed with the exception of the pump bracket.
Who, What, where????
Thanks Chris

You can probably buy a whole donor truck for less than all of the parts would cost you. So look for a trashed truck with power steering for $50-$100 bucks and steal the parts off of it. You've got the right idea but just make sure you grab the parts from a 2wd not a 4x4. Different gear box. While you're at it convert it from the tree shift. Oh and one more thing...if I found one of these trucks with 24k on it the last thing I would do is let my wife drive it!
