1966 Four Wheel Drive power steering conversion

[suburbangeorge]

Am about to get my '66 Suburban back on the road and I'm not looking forward to the stock manual steering. It's fine on the road but parking is something else.

Many years ago there was an article in Four Wheeler or 4Wheel & Off Road about using a crack repair plate from a '73-'87 4x4 Chevy to assist in converting to power steering on a '60-'66. If I remember there was one stock bolt hole in the frame of the '60-'66 that you used to locate the repair plate then you drilled the other three. Might be able to figure it out myself but I'm lazy and a DIY article would be great. Anyone know the issue? Short of that anyone know a link to someone else who's done the conversion? Or have you?

Here's my Suburban:
