Re: power steering
Capt is right. GM uses "800" steering gear in all its light duty trucks up to 1 ton. Difference is sector shaft diameter and wheather box is mounted inside or outside the frame. Internally they are the same. Also to be noted, be careful of fluid line attaching thread diameter and pitch. They changed over to metric but I don't remember when this was done. Easy to check though. If it's metric the wrench that fits it will tell you. jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.

Re: power steering
I think it was in 1981 when they went to metric.
