Power steering pulley - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am going to convert my truck to power steering and have the pump and brackets and steering sector but I dont have any pulleys or at least the engine pulleys. Can yall post pics of yours so I can see what i need to look for. The pump cam from a 71-72 chevy truck and looks to be original.

Thanks,
Terry J.

This is the setup on my '69. The crank pulley is a 3 groove. There is a spacer or gap between the groove closest to the engine and the 2 grooves closer to the radiator. Might be different on a '72 though.

Ok cool the power steering goes in front of the alternator. That means I dont need a new waterpump pulley just the crank one. THanks!!

No problem. Just remember this on a '69 with a 350, a '71-'72 pump may or may not be different. Big block may be different as well.

I am currently doing the same thing to my 68 with a 307. I too have little to no options.

Mine has the cheyenne package whic consists as far as i can tell of different color door panels and sun visors and wood trim. Seat was probably a different color but i didnt get it with the truck so i dont know. Oh and a headline which only has the trim left and cheyenne badges. Other than that its bone stock.

Mine was bought new in 68 by a The Osawatomie State Hospital in Kansas. It was used as a grounds vehicle for almost 38 years before I got it. The HD rear springs have almost collapsed from the many years of hauling mulch etc... , but the AM radio still works fine.

monte0185 · 04-29-2009, 04:28 PM

Not sure about my aftermarket radio. Wasnt hooked up when i got it by my rear springs were shot. I just put a set of 3/4 ton spring on mine and it sits like its supposed to now.

Before

After

Dosent look like much but now when you stand on the back it dosent hit the rubber bumpers. My 4 center coils were sitting on top of each other.
