Power Steering Question
I have a 69 with manual steering, however I have a donor 72 with power steering. I pulled off the power steering gear and have already installed the PS pump on my truck. The question is, is the power steering gear a direct swap that only requires it and the PS pitman arm? Will the steering wheel and gear box be a direct bolt on? Anything I have overlooked?? Thanks!

Besides the gearbox, pump, & pitman arm you will also need to use the steering coupler that connects the steering columnshaft to the power steering gearbox. Manual steering & power steering trucks use different steering couplers due to the difference in diameter of the steering box input shaft.
