PS parts list for my 68 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im trying to put together a list of parts I need to convert my 68 3/4 to PS. I have been using Autozones website since they are the easiest place for me to get the parts. Can everyone look this over and tell me what else I need.

Pump 7008 $49.99
Gearbox 7502 $147.99
Hose 70917 $21.99
Hose 71065 $17.99

I know there are more parts I just cant think of them....Also I have a newer engine (mid 80's 350) will that matter for mounts?

Autozone... All the prices are straight from their website (minus core)

I cant find a pitman arm for a 68 though..... Maybe I just dont know where to look.

Is the frame dimpled for the steering box? If not it will need to be for the steering box to fit on the frame.67s and most 68s didn't have dimpled frames.67-68s didn't have the power steering boxes like 69+.I'd just get a pitman arm from a 69 if you can't get one for a 68.
