I have a pump with brackets.

You will need a gear of course, unless you want a quick ratio the S 10 box will work UPULLIT should have plenty of those, the center link will need to be changed, I think that is all.

Reminds me of what my dad told us kids when we started to drive in the mid-60s. Until 1969, my parents never owned a car with power steering (or power brakes). When us kids learned to drive, we did it in a '62 Corvair Monza convertible with no power steering or power brakes, and a 1966 F-85 Deluxe with no power steering or power brakes. Dad's saying, "If you need power steering, then you are just too darn lazy to drive!" When my parents bought their "new" 1968 4-4-2 convertible (that I now have) in March 1969 after it served as a demo for a year, they had no choice - it came with power steering and power brakes. Funny thing, every car they owned from then on had power steering and power brakes!

You'll need a power steering pump, brackets, and proper spacers. A hose set, steering box, pitman arm, and the proper coupling. Of course all the hardware to go with it.

Are the crank and water pump pulleys different on PS cars vs manual steering cars?
