1972 K20 power steering swap
Hi I just recently got out of the 79 ford thing and into the whole chevy thing. Got a 72 K20 and it has manual steering. What are my options on what power steering box I can run on this thing? And pump and bracket? Might be a dumb question but I'm still learning about chevys.

I have the same truck wanting to do the same thing. If you need pump,box,lines etc there is a junkyard in MO called Manes truck parts. They deal with 67-72 chevy parts. http://www.manestruckparts.com/ good luck

The easy way is to find a doner truck and install the parts from it. Here is a link to a previous thread about installing power steering.

do you know what year boxes will fit a 72? ive heard that 2wd will turn the opposite way so you cant use one. but i got a access to a few boxes up to 87.

Has to be a 4wd box, any thing 69-87 will work but when you get into the 80's you run into different line fittings, sure some of the guys here can tell you for sure which ones.
