Inline six power steering brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in the process of installing a six pumper in the 69. I need to locate a power steering bracket setup, and have gathered that they are difficult to find. I have also heard you can use nova brackets and van parts. But others are saying the later brackets wont fit right. Sooo, what car or truck will have the right parts? will the 73 up truck brackets work?

Good luck finding them,What size 6 do you have?I think the 250 and 292 have different brackets.

I did use newer brackets but had to modify them to work.

I used brackets off a newer truck,73 I think.

the lower bracket that holds the upper part of the alternator and holds the power steering pump should bolt to the head,but the newer model would not line up with the old head.
So i cut off the part that bolts the brackets to the head and bolted what was left of the lower bracket to the old upper alternator bracket,bolted the pump and pump bracket to the lower bracket and had to fabricate a brace from the head to the front of the pump.
dont forget the water pump pulley ,you need one made for 2 belts.
Alot of trail and error ,but you can get anything to work if you try hard enough,and seeing the price that the original parts go for helped motivate me also
