Hello Rob
If you send me a PM I will help you get a payment method figured out.
For a steering box and pitman arm you will need one from a '69-'87 C10 or C20 pickup, Suburban or 2wd Blazer. It is easiest if you get the steering pump from the same year truck if possible. The '69 to around '81 used SAE fittings and then up to '87 they were metric with an O ring. It is just easier to get hoses if both are the same style. I'm not aware of a quicker ratio in a truck steering box.
You will want to find a 12 bolt from a '71-'82 C10. You could also use the 10 bolt from '83-'87. Both will be 1 1/2 inches wider though. This typically isn't an issue for most guys.....3/4" per side. When swapping the rear ends, you will likely have to move the spring perches to match your springs as well as the shock mounts. Regarding the rear disc brakes, do you need to have an e-brake to pass inspection?

I would like to order one of your power steering conversion brackets.
I have never used PayPal before so maybe you can walk me through it.
I live in Canada but I have a US address in Blaine,Washington that I will have you send the parts to.
Could you also answer a couple of other questions for me.
What year of power steering box do I use and which pitman arm?
Is there a quicker ratio power steering box available that you know of?
Also if I want to swap out my current 10 bolt Dana 44 6 lug rearend for a 12 bolt 5 lug rear end what year would I get it from.
If I do this I should probably order the brackets that you offer to convert the drums to disc brakes. Can you tell me what brakes I would use to do this.
Thanks again for all your help.
