For my '68 with a 327 and a short water pump:
Used Power Steering box ......................$50
New high pressure Hose PN#3975136 .... 20
Piece of 3/8" oil hose ...........................$4
Alan Grove 400L PS bracket .................$60 (ebay)
Power Steering Pulley PN# 3751232 .......$29 (ebay)
New Power steering pump......................$30
Gates Belt PN# 7250 ............................$8
I gallon PS Fluid ...............................$16
A hand full of bolts, nuts, washers, etc.$10ish
--------->Total $230ish
Took me a couple days of puttering around in the shop. I'm not very efficent, so it's hard to say how long it actually took. bolting the ps bracket to the passenger side motor mount was the trickiest part. take the drivers side bumper bracket off before you install the new box. it will have to be modified before it can go back on.
seems to be working well now. I'm happy with the upgrade, now my wife can drive the truck.
