POWER STEERING in 66 custom3/4 camper
i am hitting a wall finding parts and advice on what to do with a failing power steering system on my survivor stock 66 custom camper 3/4 ton truck. it looks like the ram is ok but the bushings are floating on the rod and the control value is leaking. i get power steering to the left but not the right. Help?
thanks! |

You could also update your truck to the '69-'87 power steering box.

Re: POWER STEERING in 66 custom3/4 camper
The integral power steering is what I would call a true power steering. IMO, it is much nicer than the power assist that you currently have. How much depends on whether you buy new/rebuilt parts or good used. The steering box adapter plate I sell for $60.00 shipped. You already have the pump......

About the only thing I can think of at the moment is a few pics in my for sale thread.
