Re: 1968 chevrolet truck power steering conversion

A 1967 frame is different and requires a spacer plate or homemade spacers (nuts) or a different style set up....68 and up is normally a direct bold on.

You will also need to check your engine block and make sure you have the holes you need to mount the pump.

I have done this conversion 10 times atleast and I have always bought complete set ups from board members, scrap yards, ebay, etc. I have NEVER spent more than $200 for a complete kit with pulleys. The only thing new I buy are the hoses.

DO NOT BUY Orieleys pumps and gear boxes...JUNK!
