Need to replace Power Steering pump in my 4wd 1970 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am upgrading the steering box on my 1970 K20 with 6" lift and 35" tires to a Redhead. Just wondering if there is a better power steering pump to use from a later model, I am already running a LWP setup in the truck. I have heard some of the earlier ones are over-pressurized.

Mine leaks from the pressure fitting so it needs to go anyway.

have you asked redhead what they recommend? i know for a while they were pushing the PSC aftermarket ones with all of their boxes but that was years ago.

without getting into weird hose routing and connection issues your best and cheapest bet is a stock replacement
