more info on your truck would be nice. does it have a power steering pump? someone might have removed the belt because there was a leak.

The answer is yes. You will need the brackets to support the pump, the pump, the hoses, a belt to drive the pump, maybe a new crank pulley, and a power steering box. I would advise you to by the whole system from a salvage yard to save money. A new system will cost more than the truck did.

Default What Year is your D100?

My D100 from 1969 has power steering, so you might just be missing some parts...

for the "sweptline" series trucks there is another forum at
www.sweptline.org

you may find some good info there.
