Power Steering Options

Truck specs: 76' F15 2wd 390/C6/9in


I'm at the steering pump portion of my "Things To Tidy Up" when the motor is installed work sheet.

Before I buy a new or rebuilt "old" pump, are there any other pump options for us to use that work with our plumming and steering gear. I have all new suspension and steering components installed and I would pefer to have an "updated" pump if I can to compliment the build. I've searched around a bit but keep reading threads on 4x4's not 2wd's.

Thank you. I saw that mentioned in my earlier searches. Time to search it further.

The NAPA part number is NSP 816795

Direct swap for the Ford Thompson, higher output. But if you aren't going with bigger tires or a hydroboost swap the Thompson is more than adequate.

Don't guess I'd need to go with anything other than the Saginaw with 265/75/16's I wouldn't think.

No, unless you want a nice conversation piece. I like the all metal Thompson pumps, not too fond of the plastic versions.

If yours in going South it would make a nice upgrade. Otherwise, we can't spend your money, ya know? Upgrade now, upgrade later, or just keep what it came with.
