Need some truck people in here

[redman555]

Ok, so I have decided I am going to finally fix up the 63 Chevy in the garage.  Its got new engine and trans, but I would like to get power steering.  My uncle (A car obsessed person) has willing lee said he will put the power steering in for me as long as I can get him everything needed, but I cant seem to find any sites that can give me a estimated price on how much the actual power steering gear would cost.  Does anyone know?

try this site first, but you can probally just call the local wrecking yard and they could tell you what model will interchange with that year, you might have to redrill new mounting holes if you cant find one that will line up with the existing frame holes

This kit is a complete bolt on and drive kit, everything there except fluid   $585.00 Complete

Try "Year One". They have alot of bowtie stuff. NPD "NationalPartsDepot" out of KC have everything I've need for my old Ford. They also carry some old Chevy parts. Don't forget Summit Racing for performance stuff if that's way way you're going.

A parts interchange manual is a must have on a project like this. All cars run on used parts, so you may want to think about a savage yard for like a steering rack out of a newer car?

As a Ford guy myself, i  envy the bowtie club because they have so many options and parts are readily avaible...especially for the 60s stuff. 
Good luck with you ride. Maybe another pro streeter is born

It' a labor of love bro. Going all orginial is really your best bet I think. But I tend to tinker so I just come up with a picture of what I want and go from there. It takes money and alot of time to do it right.

Mine is 4x4.

I've got the front end buttoned up. Working on the dash now. B&M tranny, pistol grim shifters(transfer case&tranny), Detroit locker in the back(saving for the front), about a 2500-2800 stall converter. The motor is a balanced 418ci, gear drive. About 450 hp and almost I much torque. You have to hang on to her.... on pavement for sure . I'm thinking about putting a 5th wheel on it and pull a boat.

I used to pull a sled with it at the fair.
