63 power steering - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GSTruck · 08-03-2010, 04:56 PM

Just bought a 63 SWB fleetside and want to convert to power steering. I plan to install a 94 LT1 V8 so I will need power steering. Any suggestions what type box will interchange for the power steering upgrade?

Thanks

I believe 71-83 will fit, on the 63 I believe you just need the control arms and spindles as well as box and link assembly, there is a guy on here that sells the adaptor for the frame for the box

Good luck, please post some pics when you get started

there are many other threads on this board too

control arms and spindles will be the same, you might need a different pitman arm.
You will need a adapter/reinforcing plate. CaptainFab is the "guy" on here that makes them. So does REZ engineering.com

Any truck based steering box from '69-'87 will work. However starting in about 1980-81 GM switched from inverted flare fittings to a metric sized fitting with an O-ring. So if you plan to use the power steering pump from the LT1, then It would make finding hoses easier if you used a box from a '81-'87 pickup or the Suburbans and crew cabs thru '91. The 4x4 boxes are basically identicle, but the sector shaft (output shaft) is different. So stay clear of those.
