Installing PS on a 6 cyl
When I bought my truck the PO gave me a bunch of extra parts. I think that I have a complete power steering setup off a V8 model. Is there any way to adapt this to my six cyl?

Re: Installing PS on a 6 cyl
I don't know of a way to mount the 8 pump brackets on a 6.The rest of it should work.6 Cyl pump brackets are somewhat scarce,but you might find a set on the parts board.

Seriously though, no they won't work, nor will the pump due in part to the inlet and outlet hoses and their location.

Re: Installing PS on a 6 cyl
Not sure if you can get them anymore, but I went to the local Chevy dealer to get my mounting brackets about 8 yrs ago. For the most part they're like any 250 GM 6 cylinder vehicle. Now the pulleys and such, I'm not sure about. I got those from the junkyard...

Re: Installing PS on a 6 cyl
I guess going to the dealer is worth a shot, Used ones are looking a little pricey.
