Well I can't sell my fully restored 70 V code Bee so I've decided to Add power steering to a otherwise #'s matching Trailer Queen and Drive it.... My question is how best to go about it. Are there Kit's available that include everything? Pump, hoses, Box Etc...Also, Is the Steering Column different?
Any Direction would be appreciated. Thanks Guys, Dave 847-459-5421 or P/M me here

Column shaft is shorter on power steering. Couplers are different between the two. Cannot pound on the shaft in the column, it is collapsible, it has plastic pins that will shear off. the power steering column is the easier one to find used.

I am doing the same thing on my 71. I have been buying individual components for mine but Bouchillon has a complete kit. The only reason I did not go with their kit is I wanted a Firm steering box. I would recommend finding a power steering column instead of modifying your original. Put the original aside along with the gear box.
