64 Power steering options

If you can locate the box itself, buy one and build the system yourself.
The first step for me was getting the box installed. The box comes with spacers to space it away from the frame rail about 3/4". Due to the big block that is in the truck the box needed to be installed flush against the inside of the frame rail (This would be the best option regardless of engine).
I trimmed the top rail back about 1/2" to get the box flush on the rail.
The mount plate supplied did match up to my hole pattern on the frame unlike wcs69rat's setup.
The kit supplied me with two couplers and a bunch of plates to mount a jog in the steering shaft but did not take into consideration that there is only about 4 inches from the top of the box to the firewall.
We purchased a chrome column for the truck since the original one needed work anyways.
I used one of the couplers to connect the column to the box. and had to relocate the column a couple of inches to the right of the original location to keep it straight.
If you are doing this, you will need a shorter column then the original. I would suggest a 27 or 28" depending on the steering wheel mount and steering wheel.
Once the column was installed I could move on to the pump and brackets.
More cutting and welding needed to install the pump.
I was asked what engine I was going to be using this setup on and expected the parts to work.
The mounting bracket mounted the pump about 1-1/2" back to far so the bracket supplied were cut up and modified to put the pump in a better position.
The shiny pulley shown in the advertisement is not included (add does say pulley not included).
Installed a factory pulley for the early 70's saginaw pump that was supplied and did not get enough pressure to help much at all for power steering.
I have since ordered a 4-1/2" pulley and we will now go back and modify bracket and buy new belt to try this set up.
On a scale of 1-10 the kit is a 2
On a scale of 1-10 for the do it yourself person this kit is a 0
