Where can I find these? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Shopping for my '68 C-10 step.

Looking for a hood latch "relocation kit". Is even one out there to be bought? Ever heard of such a thing?

Also, while I was in Vegas 2 weeks ago my Uncle had a 67-72 truck catalog and someone was selling a complete power steering kit including box, pump, pulley, rag joint, pitman arm and hydraulic lines for around $600. Does anyone know a vendor selling a similar package? I hit a couple from the main page, didn't find much. I don't want used stuff, I'd prefer to be all new w/warranty (well, rebuilt box and whatnot, but you get the idea).

Need a couple of other small things like one-piece windows and a battery tray, but I'm probably ordering that today from mothertruckers.

Any input appreciated.

Is a quick ratio steering box non-hydraulic?

In the FAQ section above there is a "how to" for installing an in the cab hood release.

Yeah, over here : http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=136797

But I don't have a welder and don't know anyone with one. So, I'm kinda looking for a kit. Surely, somebody must sell something like this?

Like I said, not sure if anyone makes one, but I'd like to buy one if there is such a thing. Hoping one of the 16,000+ members here might have seen something like that ... and know someone who sells a complete (+ not used) PS setup for my truck also.

you might check LOKAR they make a variety of cable release systems yhat could be adapted to open your hood,look thru an issue of STREETRODDER magazine there's many companies with products that will work

Maybe you could send the hood latch to the board member and they could modify it for you???
