My 82 doesn't have power steering.
Will parts from a newer truck work?
Anyone sell a kit to convert it?

Thanks!

 

Grab the p/s parts from another similar engined truck; pump, pulley, reservoir, lines, fittings, etc. Should bolt right up, at least they do on a 22R or 22RE. Not sure if that is the engine you have or not.

On the steering box, two options.

1. Get a box from anything up to 1985 and keep the stock push-pull steering. Box should bolt right up.

2. Convert to crossover steering and then get a box from 1986-1995 and use that instead. Requires some drilling, cutting and welding to install crossover steering.

 

I just had a 5" lift put on my 85 toyota truck and also added cross over steering with a late model IFS steering box, my truck didn`t come with power steering so i got a power steering pump and hoses off of an 89 two wheel drive truck, i will have to drill a couple of holes to mount the reservoir and the cooler line but other than that everything bolts on.

 

you need to make sure you have a threaded boss on the cylinder head, to mount the idler pulley. Most 20r engines dont. Everything else is no prob.

 

Truck has a 22R.

 

Found all the stuff locally. Getting it next Tuesday.
