standard P.S. is pricy but bolt up

hilux power steering box bolts up with a custom bracket

60 series and toyota crown powersteering conversions are also popular

search those and it might come up with something

modify your driving style cause it will turn easier :finger:

but seriously will need steering column mods (to hook up the rag joint to the p/s box

i have a 75 series p/s box in my 45 (would go the 60 series style if i do it again).... i can take pics tomorrow (if i remember)


EDIT : my setup uses the complete 75 series steering column and shafts , with mods to fit the old H motor

at a guess i THINK the 75 series column and shaft and 60 series p/s box could bolt together quite easy

i bought my setup complete from a wrecker, so if your lucky you could get a power steering pump that will bolt straight up to your engine ( 2F or 2H pump)

you could try a sagnaw box conversion. here is a site from the U.S. same fittment applies but just to the opposite side the vehicle.
