Yet Another Power Steering Upgrade Question
I inherited this motor with a long water pump setup and my ex-buddy was helping me do the engine swap. I wanted to do a short water pump setup, but he insisted on keeping the long WP setup. In the end, we were running out of time and kept it setup as a long WP.
Now that I’ve gotten the engine swap 100% complete, my next project will be to swap the front end to discs and install power steering and a brake booster. My 68 is in dire need of a front end rebuild and the gods have blessed me with a 71 C20 donor frame, so here we are. I’m having a hard time deciphering whether I have the correct brackets, pulleys, etc. to do this. I will attach some photos below with descriptions of what I have. My main concern is function. If I have a pulley that will work, but isn’t original for this truck that’s just fine with me. Please go easy on me, I’m still pretty new to this whole thing. I don’t even know if the long WP pulleys interchange with the short WP pulleys. I will be buying a remanufactured pump for a 71 C20 and I have the PS gearbox that was also on the 71 frame that I will have rebuilt. Picture 1 is my current set up centered on where the pump will go. Picture 2 is my current set up, but focused on the pulleys. Picture 3 are pulleys that I have acquired over time. Picture 4 is a pump that I have, but the pulley might be bent. I need to pull it and check if it’s straight. Picture 5 is another pump that I have. The pulley looks straight, but is a double pulley.
