Anyone with a v6 running power steering? I am getting sick of having to work to drive this truck. I make alot of short trips so I have to park more than I like to without power steering. just curious about the setup. Thanks

If you like, i can see if the V-6 I have access to in a junk yard is set up with power assist. If so, I'll get pics, and if your interested, i can get everythign you need (Except the gear box...I know it is crap). This yard had pretty good prices.
Is there anything else you need off of a V-6?

but after crawling around under it last night and this morning... I think I'll wait until I put a v8 in it. I don't want to go to the trouble getting the v6 all set up to drop a v8 in it a few months later. I'll just drive the one with power steering... the one I want to take apart, but never can get anything else to run and be dependable long enough to do so.

DD,
I have a power steering bracket on my V6. You could make one, it is pretty simple. I think GMCPaul has a couple laying around. Seems like they were about $60.
