Wanted: Big Block power steering reservior bracket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

burb71 · 10-23-2004, 11:09 PM

Does anyone have a spare Big Block power steering reservoir bracket like the one in this pic?
It projects the small reservoir off of the driver side fender when you had the 396-402 big block with power steering and auxiliary battery box.
All I need is the bracket only,
Thanks

Check with chevelle and impala suppliers they use the same type of bracket. Harold

Check with matt67350. He might have one.

It is also the same bracket that came in the big block trucks of 67 and 68. I have one in my 68 burb.

matt67350 · 10-24-2004, 09:48 PM

I just have the reservoir. Was bolted to the fender without the bracket.

burb71 · 10-25-2004, 04:31 AM

I have looked in all of my Impala & camaro catalogs and they dont have it.
Someone help me please, I know someone out there has two of these things and can part with one.

Harold Shepard · 10-25-2004, 07:19 AM

I think that I saw them listed in Danchuck's Catalog. I'll dig out my copy this evening and see if I can get you a part number. I know I have seen that part listed and it seems like it was used for el caminos and chevelles.

Harold Shepard · 10-25-2004, 04:45 PM

The brackets danchuk has are part # 6315 and #6316 15 will not work need to call and see if 16 is the same. phone number is 1-800-854-6911 hope this helps. Harold

burb71 · 10-26-2004, 01:22 PM

Thanks, Harold
I looked up the Danchuk part #s you gave me on there on line catalog,
Its not exactly the same, but it is the best lead I have on anything that may work.
However I still want an original.

cib101abn · 10-26-2004, 02:16 PM

I think I have an original (should have anyway..bolted the ps unit to fender without bracket)...have a 72 Cheyenne that somone was going to restore, had the 402 and 400 trans rebuilt, bought the whole truck for the motor and trans to put in my 79 GMC; have the rest listed for sale as a whole, if no takers by this weekend will start parting it out. Only problem is I have all the parts disassembled, in boxes, etc so I don't know what the thing looks like in it's entirety...will find everything close and send pic of this weekend if you don't have one by then. Someone told me these misc OE brackets are like gold, so I don't know what it's worth, willing to be fair and give a competitive price, let me know what your thoughts are. bob

burb71 · 10-26-2004, 07:12 PM

I think, but I'm not sure, that your truck will have had to have these options:
396-402 Big Block, power steering & auxillary battery box.

If you have this bracket I am ready to deal. Please let me know.

**southern parts** · 10-26-2004, 09:18 PM

I have a bracket like that. I dont want to sell it, but will take a picture of it if that will help. I`m pretty sure that it only came on 68 bigblock trucks.

**BIG ORANGE** · 10-26-2004, 09:51 PM

I got that bracket 20.00 shipped!

burb71 · 10-27-2004, 03:30 PM

Big Orange, I want it but can I see pics of it first?

burb71 · 11-05-2004, 08:52 PM

Three cheers to...." BIG ORANGE " for coming through on the part that I needed, and at a very fair price!!! Hip, Hip

I'll fight any man that ever bad mouths my friend " BIG ORANGE " LoL

burb71 · 10-27-2004, 05:29 PM

Southern parts, please post your pic of the bracket.

**BIG ORANGE** · 10-27-2004, 06:02 PM

I'll get it tomorrow!

Rod · 10-26-2004, 10:39 PM

Someone put me in line for a second one if their around. I'll put a second battery in the tow truck then. Never thought about that bracket much before.
