    Hi o great and knowledgable one's. I have a 63 k10 with manual steering that I would like to change to power at some point. I have a 73 GMC 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive with power steering I could use for parts. Looking at the 2, I don't think it's going to work. Am I correct in assuming that the conversion kit our host sells is to convert 2 wheel manual to 2 wheel power. If so is there a kit for 4 wheel conversions? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.:)

    Sadly you are correct. The REZ adapter sold here is for two wheel drive. I don't know of any for 4 X. But my knowledge of 4 by's could fill a thimble.

    Anyone else?

    The kit is for only a 2WD truck. I don't know of any kits out there for the 4WD trucks.
