Re: Power Steering/Brakes conversion help
There are lots of options to put disc brakes on these trucks.Adding power is just brackets a brake rod and the parts.PS can be used from any 68-86 truck but hoses may cause some concern.The easiest way would be to buy a complete front suspansion from a 73-86 and just swap the whole crossmember,however most will need to be rebuilt.There are kits available from most of the vendors that will convert and lower if you choose.Check them for what they contain,since some may still require buying the typical rebuild parts.
Power steering set-ups only require matching the brackets to the water pump and other components.There is a long and a short.Some later model PS has a different(style and metric size) hose connections.Make sure and get all pulleys and brackets from the same donor. You should probably start with a search that will give you more specifics and options.(Knowledge is power)
