Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Thank you for your quick reply,. Money has been sent. It is very nice dealing with a small business. Too many of the vendors for this project have gotten too big and customer service has suffered. I look forward to working with your creations.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Hi Captain,
I have a 68 K10 with the old 3 bolt manual steering gear. It looks like I'm going to need one of your adaptor plates for my Power steering conversion. Will you ship to Canada? Thanks |

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
For you guys that have done this swap, what are you doing for hoses? I bought a presssure hose for a 73 C10, and no way it will work. The fittings are right (5/8" inverted flare one end, 11/16" inverted flare on the other) but the bends are just all wrong. Can't make it work.
I also tried fabbing a steel braided line with AN fittings at each end (which I have done many times on fuel lines and tranny lines) but it blew the fitting off the hose twice when I fired the engine. I understand the pressure is much higher in a power steering system, like 175PSI or something. Anyway, I'm open to suggestion at this point. If anybody has a part number or application for a pre-bent hose/line that will work, I sure could use it. The adapter plate and installation and everything was top notch otherwise though...very easy installation and I sure am looking forward to modern steering. |

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
It's been many years since I've done a conversion, but I would think hoses for a '68-'72 should work. Of course this depends on what engine you have and what accessory drive configuration. By that I mean whether you are running a short water pump as used in the '68-'72's, or the long water pump. You should also be able to use braided hoses. I believe Alan's Classic used braided hoses on his truck. You might also check into having a hose made up at a shop that makes hydraulic hoses. You only really need the pressure hose made up, The return hose can just be clamped to the tubes.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
OK, thanks. I'm using a short waterpump and power stump pump brackets by Alan Grove, which are very close to stock. Maybe I'll try a 68-72 pressure hose.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Yes. As long as they are for the early 230/250 with the seperate head and intake, and not the integrated head.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Yes you could stitch weld the plate to the frame, and not use the tubes. However, you will still need to cut holes in the inner flame web to unstall the bolts into the steering box.
The installation instructions do show you how to re-use the original flange from the end of the steering column shaft. However that does require the use of a drill press and a welder. If those are not available, the tube and flange that I sell is a simple solution.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Hello
I am interested in purchasing one of your power steering adapter plates. I have a 1961 Chevy c10. Also what pitman arm did you use? I am new to this Website and not sure how we make our transaction. Thankyou Skooks |

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Hello and welcome to the forum
![]() My power steering adapter plates are designed to be used on the '63-'66 C series frames, as well as '68 and earlier K series frames. They can be used on the '60-'62 C series frames, but you will need to make up your own tubes to go between the inner and outer frame webs, and possibly a little other fabricating. Let me know.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Hello and thank you. Are you referring to tubes through the boxed frame, to give strength to the steering box bolts? If so, that is not a problem. I would still like to purchase one of your adapter plates. I have a 79 C10 steering box. Will that pitman arm work? Thank you for all your help.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Yes I am referring to the tubes between the inner and outer frame webs to keep them from collapsing when you tighten the steering box bolts.
I do know that the '73-'87 pitman arm will fit the '63-'66 draglink, and according to a parts comparison, the stock '60-'62 and the '63-'66 pitman arms are interchangeable. So even though I have not done what you are asking, it should work. I'll send you a PM with payment info. Quote:
