C4 Corvette accessories

[GMC71k20]

I'm installing an LT1 with Corvette accessories into a 67 c10 and was hoping someone has experience with this.
I could use advice in how to mount a power steering reservoir for the power steering

Could you use a BB remote reservoir and mount it on the fender like stock?

I did a C4 Tuned Port in '72 for a guy and that is what I did.

There are a few different pictures of the big block reservoirs in this thread.

Thanks everyone, that's a big help.
I will be emulating the factory bracket and reservoir, that's the ideal spot but I was hesitant since I never noticed BB trucks had them

I think I have an extra fender mount setup. If you are interested I will check in the morning and post it on the parts board.

I appreciate the offer but I already have a nice aftermarket Corvette reservoir.

I do have a question about the pump return line though. What kind of path did your return to the pump take? The return nozzle on the pump points toward the passenger side and the hose will have to do a 180* turn if I mount the reservoir on the driver side. I could get a cleaner angle if I mount the reservoir on the passenger side but then the other hoses get longer
I can post pictures later today to clarify

Unfortunately I have never had a stock big block truck that had an engine in it so I can't answer your question. Hopefully someone else will chime in that has.

Interesting. A TPI Corvette has the reservoir drivers side and high. An LT1 Corvette has it passenger side. I did not realize that. Since you are using the C4 accessories, why not use a C4 reservoir in the stock location? I would not want a 180 in that line as it just invites cavitation so for me it would have to go on the passenger side to keep the suction hose as straight as possible. For that longer lines is more volume and should run cooler. On the one I did, I went to a hydraulic shop and bought a piece of hydraulic suction hose to connect the pump and reservoir.

I agree with all of this and appreciate the help. I'll be mounting along the passenger side now. I'll be asking for suction hose when I make the trip over to the hydraulic shop as well
