POWER STEERING for 1960-66 Trucks - a DIY for the 230, 250 and 283 engines.

Ever wanted power steering for your 1960-66 C10 but just weren’t sure what all was involved? Here you go!

I just finished this DIY LINK HERE . I really hope you like it.
I was motivated to document how it can be done with fairly simple tools. It’s a one day job if you have all the parts.
The methods I use have two benefits.
1. I didn’t actually have to remove my steering column. Just had to remove the steering wheel and steering shaft.
2. By “clocking the pitman arm” I was able to retain full turns of the steering wheel in both directions without adjusting the tie rods. That saved me the cost and trouble of an alignment.

Here are a few teaser pics. The DIY has 175 photos. Haha! Can you believe it?
