Power steering conversion questions...

OK, simple but i tend to overthink things sometimes. My 68 swb, project Cheap Bastard, is a manual steering truck. Looking to buy a donor truck with power steering. Can I just switch gearboxes and pitman arms and of course mount the pump and be in business?? Thanks.

68/72 donor ..Yes..hardest part you may run into will be the pulley alignment..But if your donor has a long / short water pump like yours it will be an easy conversion. It is the mixing of pulleys that create the issues. Good Luck!

Hey Sammy. Thanks for the input. That is what I thought. The brackets are for small block and my truck is big block but that is an easy fix. Thanks again, Fred.
