Power steering question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

irish farm boy · 05-28-2009, 01:18 PM

Hey all, I've got a buddy that is parting out a '70 chevy 2wd long wheel base pickup. It has power steering, and I was wondering if I could transfer the power steering to my '69 gmc 2wd truck very easily? I also was wondering what I should expect to pay, since he didn't shoot me a price. Just an idea for a fair price for the both of us from anyone that would know would be appreciated. Thanks

Yep, it will swap right over. One thing to watch is that you may have to make a little bit of clearance room on the frame behind the box on some frames. I did the same swap on a 70 without issues about 22 years ago.

Prices are not set in stone,this is just my experience from doing the same swap. I got lucky and bought a steering box from a board member for $25,with shipping I had about $60 in it. I've seen prices on boxes vary from 25 t0 100 dollars.I got my pump,brackets and pulleys from a junkyard for $50. I had to buy a rag joint,got a new one from Advance for about $35, New pressure hose,also from Advance about $20( I made my own return line),and I bought a new pitman arm,I think it was about 30-35 dollars .Hope this helps.

I bought my set up used for $80. It included the box, pitman arm, pump, brackets and pulley. All I need to get are the lines and a rag joint.

On your 69 model, there will be no frame clearance problems. The 69 frame have the dimple in them already.

since he is a buddy offer him 60 -80 for the complete setup, you could even offer up your non PS parts back to him.
