The only recomendation i have is to not use the power steering adapter CPP supplies, and instead use Captainfabs so you don't have to trim away the bumper bracket and make other modifications. Captainfab's is a better design.

Re: Easiest power sterring conversion

I just did mine using Captains frame bracket and I don't think you can find an easier or cheaper cost way to do it. Great results.
If you have all the pieces and couple hours of ambition you will be done.
Good luck

Re: Easiest power sterring conversion

I used a frame bracket from cpp, but I would try Captain Morgan's, I mean Captain Fab's. Mine lined up a little crooked and I ended up installing a joint in the column to resolve it.

Re: Easiest power steering conversion

There is no doubt that captain fab's adapter plate is the way to go. What about the rest of the parts? Is CPP's kit the way to go or get everything seperatley online, maybe some other kits out there? I was also thinking this might be a good time to start getting some chrome parts. Any thoughts?

Re: Easiest power steering conversion

The pump, steering box, hoses and belt can be found new/rebuilt at your local auto parts store, or you can get used ones at a wrecking yard, craigslist, etc. The pump brackets and pulleys you can find at either a local wrecking yard, craigslist, or ebay. The brackets and pulleys can also be purchased new from various sources. The classifieds here on the forum is also a good source for these parts.
