Power steering/brakes problem

I have now got my 1980 C30 on the road but no matter how tight the power steering belt is , it still slips - its a new belt. My truck has power steering and power brakes both driven off the same pump. Should it have a high volume/pressure pump? This just looks like any standard pump.
It also squeels alot on full lock.
Any ideas?

Sounds like a hydroboost set-up. I don't know the testing procedures, but my PS pump going out exhibited the same symptoms.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.

Only has straight 6 engine. Also will squeel when stamping on the brakes.Might try another pump then.
