power steering gearbox
 

I put the power steering unit from my 66 c-20 parts truck into my 66 c-10. i am being told i need to change the gear box to a power steering gearbox. the ratios are different. any input. do i need a power steering gearbox or a c-20 gearbox

Re: power steering gearbox
 

I think we need to clarify a couple things here. Is the power steering you installed in your C10 from a C20, the original style power assist steering? If so I believe the C10 unit is the same as a C20 unit. I do not understand this sentence "do i need a power steering gearbox or a c-20 gearbox" A steering box is the same whether it is for a C10, C20 or C30. It is either a manual steering box, or a power steering box. In my opinion the '68+ integral power steering box is a better way to go for power steering.

I think he is asking if the manual box is the same box used with the power assist good question. sorry i don't know.

Re: power steering gearbox
 

The steering box is the same between the manual steering and the power assist. Just the pitman arm is different.
