Finished P/S Switchover - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jbgroby · 06-07-2009, 04:04 PM

I had another thread started but there were a few non-issues that was posted so I figured a start another.

The biggest issue was the fact that I had originally gotten the REZ P/S kit adaptor. This kit although good is made for the 63-66 Chevy or GMC frame. It was not made to conform with the early boxed Chevy/GMC frame the years 60-62.

Classic Preformance Products (CPP) makes one for those years exaclty and that is what I used for the modification. In the ablum you will see a 1963 factory P/s setup (from Arthur Throckmortons GMC Truck)

Also both the REZ adaptor and the CPP.

I start from scratch and total time spent was 1 hours and 25 mimutes. The only thing you will ned is a 5" 7/16 for the lower right bolt hole. I'm very impressed with the CPP Kit.

I know you will be glad with the swap. How did you modify the steering shaft?

The kits came with the shaft thatyou simply attach to the rag jojnt coupler and Hav enot got the steering wheel our of storage yet and have not tried to fit it. I know that I'll have to cut off some and drill a hole for a clovis pin.
