Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
I think the kid at Oreilly's gave me the wrong pump, but it looked extremely similar.
New pump had so much paint in the threads that I had to run tap through them before I could even install. |

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
There are two 1978's and two 1988's in my local upullit yard, will your bracket work for those two years? And will my 1968 pitman arm work for those two years? If so please send me an invoice to mjminino@gmail.com

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
The 1978 steering box falls within the '68-'86 C series truck range stated in this thread. If the 1988 steering box is on a '87-'91 R series truck or Suburban it will also work. If the 1988 is a pickup it will not. The main difference between the '78 and '88 steering box will be the SAE versus Metric with O-ring hose fitting style. Your '68 pitman are should work if it is for a power steering box, but why not just use the one that is on the steering box you choose?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Hey John,
I'm putting the old 62 back together slowly. My truck was converted to PS sometime before I got it, they used a gear off of 78, everything worked ok but they had not installed a spacer plate... I would like to put it back together using your plate, but hopefully without having to punch more holes in the frame. If I can make a drawing of the existing hole pattern would you compare it to your mount? Used your axle perches to put the 12 bolt rear in, and just installed your booster bracket and hung my new booster/master cyl, thanks for providing the great products and sharing your knowledge of our series trucks! Pappyx4! |

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
The '68-'86 C series and '87-'91 R series steering boxes all have the same bolt pattern.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Captain Fab,
Attached is a picture of my frame. Will your plate cover most of the holes? Does the plate require welding to fully reinforce or can it be used as a spacer? Thanks, Blue666(2) East of Memphis, TN |

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Need ordering info for PS bracket for 1966 GMC 2500 to use 1989 GMC R3500 PS box from donor truck.
Do I need to find a 1+1 PS Pump or can I modify my donor trucks Hydro boost PS pump to fit?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
The adapter plate should cover most of that mess, but likely not 100% of it. It is advisable to stitch weld the plate for maximum strength, but it is not absolutely necessary. However on your frame I would advise either stitch welding the plate or at least doing something about the jagged edges of those holes. Those jagged edges are all points for possible cracks to develop.

I will send you a PM with ordering and payment info. If the donor pump will work on your engine configuration, you can use it. You will just need to cap or plug the second return port on the pump reservoir.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
I found and purchased a Saginaw steering box 7802644 from a 1980-85 full size GM pickup I believe. Also I have made the steering (pitman) arm the same length as the original steering arm (cut and weld) to work with the original steering gear (64 C10) geometry. Did I mess up? Or should I have just kept the original pitman arm length?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
There is absolutely no reason to shorten the pitman arm for the power steering box. A pitman arm is a critical component. If it fails, people could die.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
Okay. So I use the power steering pitman arm? The one that came on the power steering box?
