i have 1986 pickup 22r 2bbl no powersteering.
was wondering if i can put power steering on it and what would be the process of this and an idea of how much cash its gonna take.

I'm interested in this too, I don't like having to fight the wheel all the time. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any sort of "kit" for doing it or instructions on how to do it other than removal and installation of some of the system from already equipped vehicles, nothing complete.

Head to a junkyard, and find EVERYTHING power steering related from the same vehicle.
Pumps pullies, and hoses. All that stuff.
It should bolt right onto your pickup.
Get the gearbox, too.
