ADAPT FACTORY STYLE STEERING TO YOUR LS SWAP SQUAREBODY C10 | CPP 500 Steering Box

[@victorcross8441]

Sounds like he was trying to help CPP sale some parts. He only said CPP or CPP 500 18 times . The information about all of parts that you have get was great 👍

[@craigcaggiano431]

Cool details you have with the power steering box and fittings. It comes together easier when you have all the fittings you need a head of time which is nice to see.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Completely agree!

[@lowdeck]

I did a cpp 500 steering box on my 70 c10 too! Did mine a little different. I opted for a hydraulic brake setup. Plumbed it to the stock 5.3 steering pump with AN fittings and it works great.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Sweet! Super glad to hear.

[@brandonledesma4013]

What fittings did you use man if you still remember?

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Progress is progress! Great job Guys!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

No doubt

[@3rdGenC10s]

Just started my 2wd K5 build on my channel. The UBTK5 is killer, I’ll be watching all you’re vids ok the series for some tech tips and ideas! Great videos keep it up.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Heck yeah! Thanks so much!

[@joshroland]

Looking good! I can't wait to see it in person

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Can’t wait to show ya!

[@jeffseidel4249]

keep up the good work! UBTK5 is looking better and better. I used the CPP 500 box on my 69 GMC 910 - you will notice the difference for sure. will make it feel like a race car.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Heck yeah!

[@landcruiserintervention9443]

Love your channel, it's my new favorite. Really like Teddy, I'm starting a 68 GMC SWB soon already got a No limit chassis pack and a Moser 9" full floater. Still gotta get a LS but gettin exited watching you guys..

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Man that sounds like a killer set-up! You're gonna love that.

[@terryhicks2292]

I used this same setup, on my 78 C10, works great. Great video.😊

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Awesome!

[@deankay4434]

The 1967 C10 has no indention on the frame for the steering gear. The only gearbox that would work is on that is flat on the mount side. Mine comes OEM with longer bolts and heavy steel tube stand offs like cut pipes. I use the Saginaw 800 series for the larger diameter piston and a heavier torsion bar and cut the pipe stand off's. The box sits at a slight angle to the factory manual box but I am familiar with frame breakage on Dodge Vans as I fixed 6 or 7 in a shop. We cut 5/16" plate from a template, to place inside the split frame. Plug welding help beef up the mounting with 1" welds in 5 locations. For those who's never seen one, it is like a weld box frame, simply split into a "Y" at each front corner. On the 1967, I had to move one hold only rearward and upward about 1/4" to allow bolts to screw in by hand. The front two bolts had 3/8" of the end cut off and tapered and all were grade 8. So, technically the 1967 C10 needing a P/S box installed has a flat frame with holes in the frame located further forward than others. Perhaps that's why 1967 is not listed in catalogs and videos include 1967 in the "Title" but are different. C10 PU, Panel and even the Suburban all are the same. 1966 and older with 1968 and newer are different. I really don't like the ones that have you drill out the threads on the bottom front hole to bolt a bracket to it. To me, this destroys the core in the future. I have rebuild a dozen of gear boxes and re-sealed 30 others, but they were all Saginaw 605, 800 series but have never seen a 500 with solid fronts. I guess the piston comes out the back thru the input shaft & control head. I am not sure where they were used on what vehicle. Vega? Monza? Pinto? Dodge Dart?

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

You can also simply use a spacer on the '67 frame to accept a traditional ps gear box.

[@tylerr7437]

Another great video!! Checked out the cpp webiste.. wish they had a pump for my 93 but I didn't see any.. however they did have gbody parts so I passed it along to my buddy who has a few Monte Carlos!! Can't wait for the next video!

Just ordered a CPP box for my 81 K5. Can't wait! Question: Do you have a part number for that rag joint?

[@1967RTMOPAR]

Just ordered the CPP 500 steering box from Summit racing for my 84 GMC pick up (texaco) that Clay owned a few years back. Hope it's as good as the reviews I've been reading.🤞

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Sweet!

[@twoninecav]

From the last time I dropped my two cents, y’all have come alive!! Wow cherish your friendships, I wish I had friends that would grind the way y’all do. Was Rocky in the military? Is that a memorial bracelet on his wrist?

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks man! We have an awesome crew. Rocky is a firefighter so that could be the reason for the memorial bracelet.

[@sandyphillips6913]

What are you guy using for radiator hoses I am assuming you use the factory radiator.i have a 72 c10 with factory radiator and need hoses

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

I've yet to get that far. We're definitely running a big block radiator, Tejas Steelworks fan shroud, and two Spal Fans. We'll do a whole video on our cooling system.

[@Gstevenz1]

Mannn. I've got to ask what camera are you using.. AMD settings it just makes what I love watching about the channel even more enjoyable.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Sweet! Glad you dig it. I use a Nikon Z6 as the main camera with either a 35mm f/1.8 lens or a 24-70mm f/4 lens with multiple gopros. All shot in 4k. Trying to bring you all the best I can.

I believe it they are the Michigan Metal Works arms in this video. We were trying out a few but settled on those for the blazer.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thank you very much! We like to keep a nice mix of original and custom. That said, depending on what your goals are, a fuel injected, tunable motor is a nice plus!

Thanks it's looking like an LS swap for the 82 again love what you guys are doing keep posting and I'll keep watching

[@danna140]

I got a 89 k5 blazer and would like to upgrade the steering box to something more heavy-duty what do you suggest ?

It coming together well alright alright alright 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Heck yeah!

[@rafatrill]

My question is will all these fittings work with a stock steering box?

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

No, they only work with the CPP 500 box, but that’s why it’s a custom look for factory style steering - meaning you don’t have to run a rack and pinion to get a custom look. The fittings on the pump side will work for all LS pumps.

[@rafatrill]

@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS yeah there is a way to do it with a factory steering box I've seen other people do it. Who makes ur 4-link?

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thorbros

[@Danny30y]

What upper and lower control arms are you using? Narrowed track?

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

We ultimately ended up running Choppin Block tubular arms. 1' narrow and 1' forward.

[@JohnSmith-qj4cf]

Will that steering box work on a 1986 surberbon on the box put a 90% fitting an

[@636mars]

I think the power steering fittings for the ls power steering pumps are metric ORB , I think the fitting you need for that is m16x1.5 the russel number is 648060

[@Iann128]

Correct, the LS pump is metric

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

I believe that’s what we have though i could’ve gotten it mixed up in all the numbers.

[@mattpollard7991]

Did you have to install the new steering box or would your old box have worked?

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Old box could've worked but custom lines would've needed to be made.

[@jrobles1019]

Do you have a link to the steering gearbox?

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

I don’t offhand but here is part number CP50014
