Power steering question
On the 72, there is a funky noise coming out of the steering, I checked and seems the steering box is attached by some brackets that are foreign to me, allowing the box to twist sideways
By the number on the steering box and a quick search I pinpointed its from a camaro. All I have to compare right now is from my 1970 ( which looks normal) although both tucks have been retrofitted with power steering Heres a pic. 1972  A closer look  Whats wrong with this set up??? Ps Heres a pic of the 1970 set up

Ola, amigo... Una respuesta de el gran estado de Texas. Home of Heisman trophy winner Johnny Manziel.
I'd go to a salvage yard and try to locate the correct one for the truck along with the correct hoses. It's just too dangerous to take a chance with bad steering on your truck. You can also buy a rebuilt one but in my area I can usually get a good gear box for around $40-$60. A lot of vehicles used the same gearbox but I'm not sure which ones. I'd take the s/n number off the 70 and do some searching.

Re: Power steering question
Looks scary, I'd definatly look for the right one. I have one that was posted for sale a while back. Let me know if you cant find something local. I cant help but think the shipping would kill any deal I could make with you though.

Re: Power steering question
Car boxes are mounted inside the frame, Truck boxes outside. Thats why the mount are on the wrong side. You need a Truck box.
