Slave cylinder power assist steering question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 09-11-2002, 05:33 PM

I had the slave cylinder power assist steering on my 68 1ton and changed it to a power steering box. I used the same pump and the steering seems kinda hard, not bad but not as good as some of my other trucks. Was wondering, do I need to use a pump from one with the power box, and not the one that ran the slave cylinder??????? Any one ever had this problem???? Thanks, Joe

I would think the regular p/s pump would be the way to go and the reason it's not working properly is due to a difference in signal and working pressures.

I did a seach on Hollanders for a PS Pump for a 67 truck and found the following interchange:
CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 67
CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 68 linkage type
CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 67
CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 68 exc. 8-396; linkage type
CHEVY II 67
GMC FORWARD CONTROL 68
GMC PICKUP TRUCK 66-67
NOVA 68
SUBURBAN 66 GMC
SUBURBAN 67
SUBURBAN 68 Chevrolet, exc. 8-396; linkage type

I do not know what system was used on the ChevyII/Nova but appears that the pump is used only on linkage type systems. Looks like you need a later model pump.

Thats the truck I thought you were talking about, she sure is a beauty. I'll be there but I wont be able to bring the blazer, my vanity plates finally came in and while driving down to pick them up I noticed the tranny starting to slip, so it's going to have to stay close to home for awhile. See ya there

drooooooooooool !!!!! dude, man thats frickin perfect damn !

did you choose to paint silver grille with the deluxe trim option, or is that really white and just looks like silver, or were you not after 100% correct ? or is there silver grille option listed on SPID label ?

good luck !!

**PICKMUP** · 09-13-2002, 04:08 AM

Well, you know I would like it...it's a flatbed. They're great to use to go out and get more trucks to part! OK, OK, just kidding!

**Joesjunk** · 09-13-2002, 08:31 PM

Fast68, this truck was originally white with a silver grill. I like black with the silver grill.

PICKMUP, I dont even want to show any pics of trucks I part out!

BLAZERMAN, I will see you there. I will try to ware my orange "67-72 message board " shirt.
