My 79 d100 step side is manual steering and I want to convert it over to power. What is needed to do the swap over to power steering. It's a slant six standard on the column.
I have a power steering unit on a 360 80 trailduster 4x4 down back I'm not sure if I can use any thing off of that or not.
It's a bear to steer with the manual steering.

Check the post about swapping to manual, why not trade?

Found this on ebay, do these look like the correct ones that I will need?

I'm going to order a new steering box from advanced and pick up a borgeson steering shaft. Any one know where to pick up the shaft from? Can I go direct and buy it straight from them or is it cheaper to get one some where else?

I didn't have much luck with my generic rebuilt box. Still had quite a bit of play that couldn't be adjusted out.

Just got one from Benchwork Steering in Arizona. They put in oversized BBs to completely eliminate the play, and I think it came out cheaper than the first rebuild I got.

He did say it would have increased steering effort (so the wheel isn't incredibly easy to turn), but it was the same as the old box.

I would be interested in your old pitman arm and steering shaft if you want to get rid of it
