Looking for a new or used power steering complete setup for my 77’ C10. It has a sbc without a/c and I need everything. Box, hoses, pump, brackets and pulley. I can’t seem to find a complete kit anywhere online. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

I dont know of any complete kits but If you plan to keep this vehicle long term and really enjoy and drive it and you don't mind putting a few dollars into it....

Purchase a serpentine belt system off a 89-91 Sub. Should be $50-100 at junkyard, Craigslist, etc. I paid $80 for a nice running one. I invested another $200 for powdercoat, new alt, power steering pump, ac delete idler, belts, tensioner, etc. None of that was really necessary but I wanted it looking brand new and reliable. This same set-up is over $1000 through GM and I have less than $300 into ours.

PS box are easy to find new and used but I'd suggest upgrading to a CPP or Borgeson for $350-500 and quickening up the ratio to more modern feel.

Definitely check the frame for cracks where box mounts and add a brace from ORD, Autopower. Etc.

Borgeson steering shaft is nice upgrade.

PS lines are easy to find but I had mine custom made for $150 as I added a hydroboost brake booster as well.

So less than $1000 for a reliable modern set-up.

Again, I think if you searched, you could probably buy all used for $200 for a v belt system and box. I actually think I have a complete v belt system other than the crank pulley that I'd give away if you were close.

A junk yard would be a good place to get things like pulleys and brackets, everything else I'd suggest purchasing new or rebuilt.
