Power steering problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The power steering on my 72 GMC 4X4 has been acting up. When driving slow like pulling into a parking space my steering becomes stiff, the belt is tight and not slipping and the fluid level is full. Before I buy a new pump what else should I look for? It's been like this for some time but it has been last on my list of repairs and it's time to deal with it. If I do end up needing to replace it I am considering a pump with a remote tank, the existing pump is hard to get to and almost impossible to check the fluid level and fill. Any idea if there are pumps with remote tanks that will fit the stock mounts?
Thanks for any suggestions!
