Slick 60's

Hello to all,

I have an original 1964 F100 shortbed. I want to have power steering. Is there any way to change my front end components for newer parts to make this happen? Thank you for your help.

I have a 63 kept the straight axle and put a ccp 400 box in works great .give them a call

Most ford power steering boxes will fit. I put one from a 72 f100 in my 66. But you will have to modify or get a new column

Check the for sale adds here. The was a NEW CPP Power steering system for below cost.
Their build went a different way. The CCP is as close as it comes to a bolt in system.

A 64 and a 66 are different front suspension animals entirely. 64 is straight axle and not a bolt up like the later trucks are for the 65-66 Now you might possibly be able to modify a later model PS box to the 64 it would take a lot of work and probably some engineering knowledge.

This box is the best option I know of for PS in the straight axle trucks.
No kit, or ford box is a drop in for the 61-64 straight axles.

Last I knew CPP didn't officially offer a kit for 61- 64.

I do not know who he was but at SlickStock on back of truck was power steering, straight axle every thing was there that I could see

I'm beginning to sound like a proponent of these things, but IMO, easiest and cheapest is an electric assist system as found on junkyard Saturns. It still requires modification of of the unitized column/ gearbox, but any system other than a hydraulic slave assist will require those mods.
