It depends on the "completeness" of the set-up, but they definitely have value. I've seen them sell from $75 to $250. The more "complete," meaning brackets, ps pump, water pump pulley, alternator pulley (if a double one is required), harmonic balancer, etc.

There are various configurations between cars and trucks. I've pulled two set-up off of Nova's (one a 72 & one a 74). One with A/C and one without. They were different and thus required different things to make them line up correctly.

If the seller knows anything regarding the value/demand, they will insist in selling all pulleys and brackets as a unit. If I were buying, that's the only way I would touch it. Just my 2 cents.

^NC is absolutely right!^

I went and took a better look but I doubt its stock stuff.

[NC67Chev]

I'm not sure what that is from, but I'm sure somebody else will. Is that a "63" written on the manifold? Is that maybe a clue, hmmm.....I wouldn't pick that up if it were me, but I'm picky.

Can this set up be used? From a 77 chevy C10.

[NC67Chev]

nope. The set-ups that are so sought after are from '75 and older. The heads were changed starting in '76.

Those pictures don't look like an integrated head to me. I think that is a good setup. I have been wrong before and I'm no expert but i dont think that is integrated head.

The truck is originally a diesel but has been changed so the 6 can be from anything. Is there a way to check?

After a little bit of googling that is not an integrated head engine, the powersteering setup should work for you. Some of those pulleys dont look original to me though, so make sure you grab them ALL to make sure it works for you.

That '77 Chevy pump should work the power steering pumps work all the way up '80. I have a pump on mine that was off of a '75 Chevy. and it works great! It works almost too good with my stock steering wheel. The pullies that are on the fan in the picture will work but they have a serpentine belt setup on them, which doesnt make a difference it just wont be used.

Also if that chrome valve cover says Chevrolet on it and if it is in good shape I would grab it too they run from $90- $160 from what I have seen.

Hope this helpes you get the power steering working.

I don't think I was very clear in my reply. The pump isn't what I was focusing on. The pump might work fine, but the pumps are also readily available for not much. The brackets are the issue, which I don't think are correct for a non-integrated head. The brackets are where the value of the set-up comes into play. Maybe somebody rigged it up to work, I don't know. If you can bolt it back up, then maybe you should buy it if it's cheap. However, if you can't bolt it back up, then I wouldn't. Here is a picture showing what the saddle portion of the correct brackets looks like:
