65 c10 power steering question

[lasher78]

listen to Captainfab. he gave me a list of what to get and this is what i am going to be doin shortly after getting my truck running. here is the part list and prices that my local orielys gave me

1970 chevy c10 p/s pump w/resivoir part# 20-6000 $45.99
$15.00 core

gear box part# 27-7501 $ 124.99
$ 50.00 core

pitman arm part# k6143 $ 68.99

p/s pressure hose part# 70911 $ 15.00
return hose part# 81206 $ 1.99/ft

and finally Captianfab's bracket.

prices might be a little different, i dont know. but all that has a lifetime warranty. so under $350, new parts, and warranty cant go wrong....

hope this helps

...and with a little comparison-shopping, u may find some parts even cheaper--for ex., a pitman arm for a 1972 C-10 at Advance A/P, part# DW-K6131, is like $35.99. Different year donors can vary in price considerably, at times, and work just as well--just make sure the individual parts match up.
Have fun!

Can anyone tell me, will these parts work on a 63 C20 with a 292 I6?

[Captainfab]

I don't see a mention of the particular engine these parts were sourced for, so I am assuming it is for a small block. The steering box, pitman arm and my adapter plate will be the same regardless of what engine you have. The pump, pump brackets, pulleys and hoses will need to be specific to a 292. You will want to look those up fie an application of '68 and newer. The factory pump brackets are going to be near impossible to find. It would be much simpler to just purchase the pump brackets from Davis Speed Equipoment

No change required to steering column? I thought I read somewhere that the steering column needs to be modified.

Yes, your column will need to be shortened as the power steering boxes are bigger and longer than the manual boxes. You can either purchase a piece from Captainfab that attaches to the shortened lower section, or you can go even more custom and add a collapsible steering shaft in the middle. The factory 63 columns are one solid shaft from the rag joint up to the steering wheel

[Captainfab]

You were asking about parts usability from the list for your 292.

As Christian said, the steering column shaft must be shortened. My installation instructions covers how to do that and how much if you want to reuse the original flange. If you opt for the tube and flange, how much you shorten the shaft is not quite as critical.
