The two bolts that mount the power steering bracket to the motor sheared of at the holes where they entered the block. These are the bolts holes, one above the other, that are just to the right of the water pump as you look into the engine from the radiator. I think this is the standard mounting location for such a power steering pump. Just couldn't get good photos of the bracket.

I drilled out the bolts and inserted Heli Coils but am not optimistic this will hold up as I did a pretty crappy job of drilling the out the bolts.

Are there any alternative locations for mounting a steering pump on a 69 C 10?

Thanks for your comments.
