1964 GMC powersteering
Hello
Question for the experts. I have 2 complete sets of v-6 powersteering set ups with engine brackets. Has anybody used a powersteering pump from a 64 with a later model powersteering box kit? Does the pump put out enough pressure/volume. Thanks for any info. Jeff |

Sorry i can't help, but I'll give you a bump! I do know that lots of people put 70's model pumps on because you can get them for dirt cheap through wrecking yards. Heck, even a new saginaw isn't very expensive from NAPA.

i'm using the older factory pump, with a 73 to 87 steering gear. works great, had to have a custom pressure hose made. you will need to buy installation kit for gear, i think i got mine from cpp, but not sure.

Re: 1964 GMC powersteering
Thanks for the info. Probably the same kits I see on eBay with the box and brackets? You have to shorten the steering shaft also correct. No problems with the frame at the steering box cracking? Jeff

Re: 1964 GMC powersteering
No just curious. I remember the later model frames would crack around the mount holes. Jeff

For the hoses, NAPA ( I sound like a napa commercial) can make your hoses for you too at a reasonable price.
