79 Power Steering in 67?
I got a 79 donor truck from a friend wanting to get it out of his yard if I hauled it away. How hard is it to install the power steering and disc brakes from the 79 into my 67. Right now I am at the bare frame stage in my 67 so everything is pretty open right now.

Let me interject my mere 2 cents here.
Power steering = go for it. You might have some fun with bracket/pulley issues. I ended up swapping ALL the brackets and the water pump too. I haven't done it, but I hear the front end swap is a direct bolt on as long as you get the entire crossmember & stuff. Besides, part the rest of the good parts on the '79 and buy some goodies for your pickup.

The 79 power steering will work on the 67 but you will need to either modify the frame to accept the bulge from the steering box, or build spacers to space the steering box away from the frame, as I did on my 67. I'm using a power steering box from a 77 Chevy.
