Questions and Specific Pic Request: PS Brackets... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72 K20 350/TH350 w/AC. Would a 72 C10/20 K10/K20 all have the exact same PS bracket arrangement? I assume so - just wondering if anyone has seen anything different, especially between a C and a K - as there were several different PS bracket arrangements in 67-72, but I'm assuming they'd be the same within a single year for a 350 - but not 100%.

Also - if anyone has an original 72 350/TH350 w/PS combo in a 4x4, would like to see a picture of known original power steering pump brackets. I have a mish mash of various brackets (all of which are incorrect I think) and multiple pics on hand, but no idea what they came from.
Thanks for your help.

They are exactly the same as 2wd. The only difference is a wire retainer clip that holds the two hoses together ( spring clip) that would come off at a moments notice. I replaced mine on the 72 4x4 and put a small piece of safety wire on the ears of the clip to keep it from falling off. Would give you a pick but truck is currently in moms garage 60 miles away.

thanks for confirming C & K the same - any idea what years were identical? as in, 71-72 the same, 67-68 the same, or 69-72 the same or when and how they changed across the 67-72 era? Know things became different with squares and long water pumps, but this is good interchangeability info for this era. Thanks again, very good to know.
