I'm sure many of you guys know the answer to this: Can the power steering box and column from a 2wd C-20 be used on a 4x4 K-20 frame??
Thanks for your guidance, 72longbed ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The column yes but not the gear box unless you do a cross over steering set up. But then you'd need to have the pass side steering knuckle modified, and a new drag link made. Truck would also have to be lifted.

Lift should be over 6" for cross-over too.

OK,
so what power steering box is in a 'factory' K-20 with power steering? And what if the 4x4 is manual steering and you want to convert it to power? Thanks again, 72longbed |

72 Longbed, aren't you the one who got the trailing arm from me? I Have one of those PS boxes, good for a core at least.

Longhorn4x4,
are the power steering boxes the same, (2wd vs. 4wd), with just a different pitman arm? Thanks, 72longbed |

not a pro, but i think 4x4s are on the inside of the frame, and 2wd are on the outside. but when i put ps on my truck it had to be 71-87 2wd 1/2 ton period

It is a different box and a different pitman arm. You will have to find a donor 4x4, buy one off this board. or purchase a new one. I put a box from AGR on mine.

69-72 K-5,K10,K20 ps boxes will all interchange, and they are different than their 2wd counterpart.

4x4 gear boxes are on the outside of the frame also.

Thanks GM72K10 and everybody else, I finally understand what I need now. I've been kicking around the idea of finding a 71 or 72 4x4 rolling chassis and hanging all of my sheet metal and drive train on it. I want to be prepared if I can only find a 'manual steering' chassis as a donor. I'll be selling my 2wd rolling chassis on this board or E-Bay if anybody is interested. Now that I've replaced all the wear parts from front to back it's time to sell it, right...?
![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks again, 72longbed (anybody know of any good 4x4 rolling chassis around PA, prefer 3/4 ton?) Let me know. |
