Re: My 77 GMC project!

welcome John, this is a great site for what you have in mind. Your very lucky to have Bigblock73 20 min. away, he really knows his stuff and has answered a lot of questions for me. I have a 73 and it also has a 250 I6. It was originally a three on the tree but someone b-4 me switched it to a truck four speed on the floor. Anyway the first move I made was to buy a donor truck for its power steering gear and pump. It was an easy swap, and the best move I've made, its so much nicer to drive. I got my set up off a 76 bonaza that had a v-8, the pump and steering gear worked fine, I only had problems finding the brackets to the motor. Finally found them from a power steering specialist on ebay. Also had to change pittman arm. Maybe the 77 down the road in the field had power steering. good luck, and looking forward to your progress. Bob
