One improvement that I am going to make is the addition of power steering. The truck is a bear to steer, especially when I am trying to shuttle it in my driveway and get in parked in the garage. A few years ago I bought a complete power steering set up from Richie Z. that was set up for a Cummins. It included the 592 Sheppard box, frame brackets, supports, reservoir and Vickers V20F pump with the coupler. I used the box on another project but was able to get a another one from Stan A.
I dug all the parts out last week and realized my first challenge was the mounting of the power steering pump. The truck originally had an NH250 but was replaced with a NHCT270 out of a single axle Huskidrive 361. Russ stopped by over this past weekend and mentioned that the 270 originally had a belt drive power steering pump. I took a look at the motor and realized there are no provisions for the power steering pump on the back of the oil pump...

So my question is what do I need to change to be able to use the gear driven Vickers pump? I believe it will be similar to this pic of a 350 Big Cam I have...

On a side note, the OEM Cummins tag is missing. It was replaced by a tag from 'Cummins Metro Inc. New York and New Jersey' when it was rebuilt.
Thanks,
