power steering for a 59 4x4 conversion

I have a 59 GMC, 80's 4x4 drivetrain already installed I have a cpp5000 ps box mounted in stock location. Does ANYBODY know what pitman arm I need and what else I need to get this box connected to the steering gear?

Re: power steering for a 59 4x4 conversion

I had a 1960 Chevrolet K10 frame that I upgraded the front axle to a 1975 3/4T and used the PS Gear from a 1974 K10. I used the stock adjustable drag link (and added a length of pipe in between the adjustable sections) and was able to install the TRE in the existing arm on the of the knuckle.

As far as the PITMAN arm on the steering gear, I used the stock pitman arm from the 1974 K10 gear.

I don't know if that helps or not.

Good Luck!
