divorced steering parts

A fellow board member has a 67 CST with a 327 and divorced power steering. He is in need of a control valve and a power cylinder. I can get them from work but my cost if exorbitant. Does anyone know of a reputable place to get these?. For those not in the know, this is the system with a pump, manual box, and the power steering stuff all mounted to the linkage. Just like on a Corvette of the same generation.

Thanks for any help you can give us

That is called a "ram assist power steering". Here is a good thread on rebuilding one with a link to where he got his parts....

Re: divorced steering parts

thanks Leon. I saw the Corvette stuff online but didn't want to ass-u-me they were the same as a truck. I will talk to the guy and see which way he wants to go. The cylinder will need replacing though since the rod is damaged.

Todd, I may have a cylinder if he wants to go that route. I would have to check and make sure it is the same.....

Re: divorced steering parts

Kent, if you get a chance scroll down to page 124 in this PDF and look at the top right corner. Get this $49.99 kit. We'll work on the cylinder later since that has a small leak. We need to take care of the sloppy steering first before anything else. Aside from the brakes I'm doing today of course
