Rad support to BB PS resevoir measurement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can anyone with a big block tell me how far it is from the radiator support to the centerline of the power steering reservoir? Need to mount mine. How far below the fender lip is it?

I have one sitting outside, but it's snowing like crazy and is cold out there. If it lets up I'll get a picture and a measurement.

Your going to need to have the brace and fender mounted in my opinion. I got 3 inches and 43/64 from the closest windshield wiper fluid container bolt to the center of the power steering fluid bracket. There's less than .100 in in between the corner brace and steering tank.

Thanks very much my friend. I don't have a wiper bottle and didn't know that the PS tank went so far forward with the wiper tank beside it. I figured they put the wiper tank on the other side on the big block trucks. Mine was a six without a wiper bottle when I got it.

There may be a dimple in the metal where the hole should be for the screw.
