Re: 1964 C10 SWB Build
Were upgrading to Power Steering
And heres where were at right Now We bought 1972 C10 frame and were going to use it as a donor for the Disc Brakes and 5 Lug Conversion, were also going to run the HydroBoost setup since our engine already had the hydroboost power steering pump on it and we got a Hydroboost booster really cheap.
