Power Steering for 62 frame? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Super73 · 01-29-2009, 04:23 PM

I'm trying to help a buddy put power steering on his 62 pickup. Does anyone know if there is a box from another vehicle that might work? I wouldn't mind going to pick and pull and grabing one for him.

I know essentially the front suspension can be removed from 60-83 and swapped.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a great link for the conversion:

You can use a Saginaw power steering box from a '68-'86, but stay with the earlier years, if you want SAE fittings...they went to Metric in the eighties, but I don't recall the years.
