Power steering conversion Kit's

Well I think I am going to add power steering to my 66 because it really is hard to steer at low speed's. I have been looking around and all the kits I have found so far really do not have everything that you need, like pulleys & brackets. Has anyone here purchased a kit that was complete? If so could you pass that info to me. Thanks

Re: Power steering conversion Kit's

If you already have a 350 sb then you can get pulleys and pumps from another. I would say get one from a truck. The power steering lines work also. And don't forget the Rez Kit. I think the Rez Kit is cheapest at Chevy Duty. Well it is not Chevy Duty anymore but www.chevyduty.com still works I think.. ok maybe www.classicparts.com Here is a link.. $59.95 http://www.classicparts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=76-979

Re: Power steering conversion Kit's

I'm looking to do the same thing to my 60 shortbox. I'm new to the truck parts suppliers but Classic Performance has an impressive web site (with tech articles, instruction sheets etc) and a tech line that seemed to know their stuff. What do you old timers know about these guys?

Re: Power steering conversion Kit's

Thanks all for the advise and links. I think I will pick up a used setup and the conversion kit. It will save a lot of money and I think I have decided to get a new 40-20-40 seat with integrated seat belts, so the cost is now a factor.

Re: Power steering conversion Kit's

Just installed the REZ kit works great......less than CPP. Includes the pump for V-8.

Re: Power steering conversion Kit's

Re: Power steering conversion Kit's

normally when you upgrade one of our trucks you have to shorten the steering column shaft and relocate the rag joint mount. when you use the 71 shafts they are in 2 pieces therefore no need for welding the rag joint mount to the "shortened" original shaft here is a link to better explain: http://http://www.classicperform.com/power6066.htm
