Power Steering

Hello,
I have a 1965 F-250 Camper Special w/ a 352/C4. I would like to add power steering. Are there other year's trucks that are compatible? Thanks.

Yes... up to 1979 will work. find a donor truck with a 360-390 engine for the pullys and brackets and such, you can also swap to front disc brakes if you havent already done that.

Also....

Welcome to FTE


here is a good write up on the disc's it applys to the F250's as well

Thanks Bill. I just got the truck from the original owner, and I would like to fix it up when I have money and time. It's a great truck that was bought and lived in Chico, Ca. it's whole life. Thanks again for the response.

what i did not tell you is IF you want to use your original steering column you have to shorten it around 2 inches (where it bolts to the steering box) or your steering wheel will be in your chest. But! you can use the column from the donor truck if you remove and replace the collar that bolts under the dash fron your original column.
