Getting the Wheeling Fever
I'm going to look at a 88 Toyota "bare bones to say the least" pickup with no power steering. Just wondering if it's a direct bolt on if I get a pump/pulley etc. from a donor truck or if it's going to be too much of a PITA to convert. Any info would really be appreciated.

Grab everything power steering off the donor, pump, brackets, hoses, pulley, cooler, reservoir and the steering box. Bolt it all up, fill and bleed the system and go.

I just added power steering to my 85 truck, i got everything i needed off an 89 2 wheel drive truck, i had to drill a few holes to mount the reservoir but other than that everything just bolted on.
