Default Power Steering Conversion

I decided to convert my 77 power steering to manual steering, so I have for sale what you need to convert to factory power steering. The parts were all new or overhauled when I finished my restoration last June. I put 4200 miles on them since last year:

- New VBP power Steering Cylinder - Stainless cylinder - with new rubber bushings and hardware
- Steering cylinder frame bracket , powdercoated cast and attach hardware
- Rebuilt VBP power control valve - painted black
- Rebuilt power steering pump - powdercoated black with pulley attached.
- Power steering pump attach brackets (2) for SBC, powdercoated black, and attach hardware
- Power steering belt
- New hoses (4)
- Pitman arm - powdercoated cast - Does not include nut and lock washer

I can get pictures if needed, but it all looks great.

The only part I did not list was the power steering pulley, which is still attached to my harmonic damper.

I want $600 plus shipping - REDUCED TO $500

ADDED PICTURES - SEE BELOW

Any idea if this would work on my 68? Also, where are you located?

No reason it would not. I live in Western PA.

I am sure the pitman arm, links, power valve, brackets, and actuator will work, as well as the power steering pump. But the brackets for the pump may be different. Most of the parts would work.

Safe to say you add the price for all these parts added up, $500 is a deal.

Oh absolutely.....Sorry did not mean to offend, this is a steal. My power stearing needs completely redone, but its just not currently at the top of the list.

I need to finish the interior (waiting on back order parts) and then finish installing the half shafts/rear suspension, and exhaust before I can buy parts for another step in the restoration.

I'll reach out in the next few weeks as i finish these projects and see if its still available.

What may make it better, is that I also live near Pittsburgh - Latrobe.

thats what i was thinking and thus the joke about installation being included. I am finding that with my car, take whatever time you think it should take and double it. Every single bolt is rusted and a pain in the but to get off. I am currently trying to replace the half shafts, and the nuts on the strap to diff are averaging about an hour a piece to get off. its been brutally slow.
