steering and axle help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello to everyone. I am new to this fourm and just bought a 61/64 four wheel drive chevy. The reason I say 61/64 is because it has a 61 grill, but is titled as a 64. Any way I want to put power steering on it and disc brakes. I bought the adapter plate, but am not sure about my parts truck. Its an 87 1/2ton four wheel drive. Will the power steering and axles swap over, or do I need a different parts truck? Thanks for any info

Yes those parts should work just fine.

Thanks captin! I see that you make brake booster parts also. Would the booster and master work from that 87 as well? also will that set up work with the drum brakes? Or would i need to change the wheel cylinders?

Since you are changing to disc brakes in the front, yes you can use the '87 booster and master cylinder. Your older rear wheel cylinders should not make any difference. However, that booster is not compatable with any of my booster brackets. To use the '87 booster, you will need to drill some holes in the firewall to mount it.
