1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
I'm looking for photos showing the location where the bracket mounts on the fender. I searched and couldn't find any good photos. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
Thanks for the photo. I could only find photos with the bracket leading towards the fender. How is the bracket mounted? Are there nuts welded to the core support?

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
I have never seen the reservoir mounted there and don't think its factory.

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
Interesting. I have only seen them mounted to the drivers side fender in 68. But like ghalperin said I have not seen many pics. I am working on building 68 bb replica so am also interested in more pics.
kwmech is that a factory set up?

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
It that a picture of your truck? Would you mind getting a measurement were that bracket is located from the core support?
Sorry OP hope I am not hijacking.

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
This is the only way I have ever seen a 68 setup.

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
LH fender on my 402 trucks. Two vertical holes located approx. 1" rear the LH gusset I think it's called, which mounts the top front corner of the fender and core support. The bolts insert from inside the fender. Bolts are 1/2" head tapered with integrated washers. The screw threads are 5/16-18 x 7/8.

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
My former 68 was set up just like ChaseBBC's pic. It was a factory 396 truck.

Not 100% sure if this is factory but it is a original 396 truck

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
When you get a chance, could you measure the distance between the front bolt on the hinge to the bolt on the reservoir mount? Center to center.

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
My 72 Cheyenne 402 Big Block has it directly mounted to the fender just like KWMECH in the above pic, I believe it is factory for 72. I'm currently restoring my reservoir but will post pics when done.

Re: 1968 396 power steering reservoir mount photos
I just looked my '68 with a 454 has no reservoir.
Too grubby for a decent pic
