Re: Power assist steering
Welcome to the 67-72 Chevy Truck Forums from West Michigan!
Since the tie rod setup is different on the 4x4 from the 68 2WD it would be very difficult to adapt the power assist. Jim

Re: Power assist steering
4X4 ps boxes are plentiful and cheep in the junk yards. from 69 to 87 in p.u. and to 91 in blazers and burbans are the same bolt patern to the frame. They use two styles of lines, ones a double flare the other is an O ring seal. the input may also be differnt sizes. I've thrown out dozens off ps boxes cause I only need so many spares. I usuly keep the newer ones that have a quicker turning ratio.

You'll have to be a site subscriber to list parts for sale.
