Power steering woes
 

Original slave cylinder type power steering. Steering spins wild when turning to left. Locks up to the right. With engine off wheels turn both ways no binding. Any help would would be great full

Moved to Wheels, Tires, Suspension and Brakes

Since it moves correctly with no load, but locks up or doesn't work with a load I would suspect the slave having issues. Like a blown seal between chambers.

Hi Rich. I am wrapping up at Johns shop and wont be at a computer until next Monday. I just talked to the vintage truck shop and he said you had not called. so I will pass what he said. You need to jack up the front wheels and start the truck. remove the dust cap at the end of the valve. turn the small nut. its a 7/16 th. this nut adjusts the relation of the initiation valve and the control spool. If its wild left you need to tighten the nut until the wheels go to center. then fine tune it to hold center. he said this assumes you put it together properly. Jack

He also added that bottom port on the valve goes to the bottom port of the cylinder. Jack.

Just a surprise (for me). The kid I sold my '66 1000 to was given a '76 power steering setup as they wanted to go manual (straight exchange, manual for power) and the kid actually got the steering box to fit properly -and- fabricated some brackets to hold the power steering pump... all he needed from me was a double pulley, which I had on one of my extra (parts?) engines. So he now has power steering.

Now he is stripping my '66 3/4 ton chassis for all the 3/4 ton parts and upgrading the 1000 to a 1500. Title will still say 1000 though. Sadly went from 3-on-the-tree to a top-loader 4 on the floor (granny-1-2-3). Had to sort around for a driveline, again out of my spare parts.

I must really like this kid because I have let him access almost all of the parts I have accumulated over the years. He has already taken my best fender and hood (replaced the <shiver> Chevy Hood that was on there).
