I have never put power steering on a '63-'66 C20 with drum brakes. I've always upgraded to discs at the same time. With that said, assuming that the C20 would be similar to a C10, I don't think the '81 steering linkage would work on your '64 C20 while keeping drum brakes.

As for the SAE/Metric fitting situation that are 3 ways to solve that. One is to purchase line adapters. Second is to swap the pressure fitting in the back of the pump with the correct Metric fitting. Be careful when doing so as there is a spring behind the fitting. Third is to have a custom hose made at a hydraulics shop with the appropriate fittings on each end.

I will send you a PM with ordering and payment info.

I did not mention this, but I am upgrading to Disc. I've already gathered those parts from a 1977 but as usual out here, steering gear and pitman arm were already gone. So I harvested a arms spindles, calipers the whole enchilada. I'm going to start looking for a power brake booster and master cylinder unit that is smaller (relatively) than a lot I've seen. I'm sure your mount will adapt any booster, correct? that will be next weekend depending on pick-a-part's cooperation with me. i'll order the brake adapter then.

Thanks again, i'll be going from turning and turning to a 3 turn, stop to stop, can't wait. I appreciate your wisdom.
