56 GMC V-8 Questions

Hey everyone, on my 56 GMC it has the pontiac style V-8 and I'd like to go power steering, anyone done this? I have some 69 brackets but am not sure if they will work or how the mounting setup is on them. Thanks for the help!

Best way is to buy the kit that uses a GM 2wd box. Some welding required. Sold with or without box. Check the usual sources. CCP, POL, CLASSIC>>>ETC. $120

Re: 56 GMC V-8 Questions

The power steering pump on 56-58 V8 GMCs sat on top of the water pump houseing. The 59s went on the left exaust manifold and head area. Try looking for a 55-59 Pontiac power steering pump. It would be easier to find than a GMC. The pully was different than the Pontiac. I sold an original GMC power steeing set up about a year ago for $2500.00

Hey thanks for the info. I was looking through all my pontiac stuff and came up with this one maybe you can id it for me, the brackets are pontiac color. I did find me a manual 4x4 box and drag link tonight so maybe I will do that for the time being untill I can come up with the right stuff. Thanks again.
