Re: Power steering
MT65, I think it's going to depend on the engine type. My 66 K-10 has a 292. I looked into power steering, and it looks like my best chance is going to be the mounting bracket that is custom made and sold by a fellow on eBay. If it's a v8 I think you are going to have more options.

Re: Power steering
On my 64 C10
I used cpt fab power gearbox bracket, a cardone 27752 gearbox fot 80-96 C10 I believe and a pitman arm I had left over from a 86 C10. I got the gearbox mainly for the fitting sizes, they match my ls power steering pump so I could use factory lines on it.

Re: Power steering
Will the truck being a 4x4 require the use of a later year K10 gear?
I have zero personal experience with K10s, so I don't know if the gearboxes are different or not

Re: Power steering
Not sure at the moment, with the part numbers that just got posted, I think it will work great, found some stuff in the FAQ segment last night, and with all the information, it’s getting easier, at least in my mind. Maybe have to make a few parts, but thats what this hobby is all about…

Re: Power steering
Was going to have mine made as well, but decided I wanted to be able to get a new line from any auto parts store if I ever needed one. Was able to use lines from the same model truck my gearbox came out of.
