Re: power steering conversion 1970 C10 ??
When shopping for the pump,brackets and pulleys,make sure you get them all from the same vehicle.There are differences in the brackets and pulleys that can be a nightmare to match up.The box may be something you want to investigate further.If you use a 67-72 box,it will have approximately 4 1/2 turns lock to lock,which makes the steering feel (for lack of a better term)"mushy".The later box is 3 1/2 turns LtL. and has more "positive" feedback or roadfeel.Use a pitman arm for PS from the year of truck and it all just bolts up.Then use a string and adjust to the shortest setting.Wrap the string and measue it's length and get a belt.Fill the PS pump and start the truck with it on jackstands.Turn the wheel LtL several times,shutting off and refilling between times.Once all the bubbles disappear,you should have most of the air bled from the system.
