Power steering compatibility
From what I've found, the original steering linkage that connects the pwr steering pump to the steering column is a component that is no longer available. Updated units are available. But I'm wondering if I can't visit the local salvage yard and get a linkage from a newer chevy truck? Maybe even pwr steering pump and all?
