Post 56 chev p/u power steering

I have a stock 56 chev p/u with a straight 6. Would like to have a smaller steering wheel & cool rims & tires for my 16 yr old son to be happy. That would make power steering necessary. Has any of you done this? thanks for any replies.

Post re: 56 chev p/u power steering

Another option is to use a steering gear from a Toyota Land Cruiser. It is shaped almost like the early Chevy and Ford units and with a little bracketry a Borgerson coupling, and a new Chevy tilt column you will end up with a stock looking P/S unit in the stock location. I can send you a copy aof an article on the installation in a '50s Ford F-100 but should be identical to a Chevy.
