I was wondering does anyone have a picture of this dimple you need to make to install power steering gear box on a 67 C10?

Maybe someone will chime in with experience in this conversion. good luck http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=355133 heres another link with some good info

I work with a guy who bought his '67, new. Last year, his age caught up with his body and he gave in and added power steering. We had talked about the dimple and he found that his frame already had what it needed. Yours may, too. He put on an ass'y from a 71 or 72, w/o any issues.

My 68 has had power steering added by some previous owner. Turns out frame is really a 67. It has no dimples but steering box is mounted with some hefty spacers.
