1964 power steering - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tramp1964 · 03-16-2013, 10:47 PM

I'm in the middle of putting in a crossmember from an 81' with power steering and disc brakes into my 64' with a 230 and 3 on the tree. What I'm needing to know, is there anything other than the one power steering pump bracket set from 4-5-6 Chevy in KC to make the pump mounting work? And can I use the pump from the 81' or am I going to have to find something different to work. Everything else I've managed to work through, but this has left me scratching my head and pulling mair.
Thanks for any help.

You can likely use the '81 power steering pump, but you will have to find the brackets for a 230/250 engine. There is a seller on ebay that sells some nice pump mounting brackets that he makes.

I can help you out with the adapter plate for the steering box.

I apprecaite the shout out on this. I've still got the brackets and all from the donor 81' the issue with those parts are that they are from an integral head design, and with my 230, they won't work, mostly due to the water pump being different. I'm going to walk away from this for a few days and do some more checking on the options, and see what the Cap'n has and how it works, and maybe that will be the way to go.Have a road trip planned for next month, and am hoping to get this all worked out soon so I can take the truck and head out down to Florida for a few weeks, but want to put a few miles on it before I take off cross country and make sure the kinks are gone. Thanks again.

you can use the 81 pump and brackets, you just need to trim the bracket. i have done it several times.
