Are you talking about inline 6 brackets? If so, I think 1975 is when they changed to integrated head, so I would recommend trying to stay with pre-75. If you're talking about v-8 brackets, I can't help you with that. The gearbox and everything will mount up just fine. However, I think the change to metric fittings was in 1978. This won't be an issue if you're using the gearbox, pump and lines from the same vehicle. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind. I hope this helps!

Hi fellas. waking up this thread for some help. I have a '72 Chevy C10 2WD 4 Speed. What exactly is needed to convert from manual to power steering. I was able to get a P/S pump so thats out of the way. i am having trouble getting the pump brackets. have looked on ebay, craigs and facebook groups and nothing so far. I am hoping a 250 from around the same years as my truck comes up. I read that the brackets off any 250 I6 should work provided its not an integral head engine or the 292 I6's because they are different.

The steering box I've been told i can source from a 2WD chevy truck up until '87?? I would need the pitman arm from the donor truck or new. how about the steering shaft, does the rag joint need to be replaced? i think i am confused with the conversion for the older C10's if anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it and if you know anyone here selling some, please message me.

So correct me if i am wrong for the conversion. is the following list all I need and please add any info i might need.

I6 P/S pump Purchased already
I6 P/S brackets In need
Steering Gear Will buy new. what years?
Pitman arm Will buy new
Crank Pulley Will have to search for one..off a 250 I6 only or?
Rag joint Do i need it?

Hydraulic H and L pressure Hoses

Besides custom making them at a local shop, what other options or donor cars can i use hoses from? since Gm went to metric i think in 1980 i should get a box before that era i am guessing?


Thanks again guys
