    running without power steering - anyone?

    i have a 2006 lm7 out of a truck that i am putting in a 60's vehicle that will not have power steering. has anyone run one of these without power steering? are here any routing pictures and possibly a belt part number floating around out here that would work for this?

    i cant be the only one doing this??

    help ??

    there is a guy that builds a bracket to mount the alternator down low so you dont have to use the huge ps and alt bracket on the front. once you use it the belt is a bout 56"

    i cant remember the dudes name, but i will look around. either way yes it can happen and look really good too!
    its just a turbo 5.3 that a couple of kids threw together

    That's the setup I'm running. It works great. I'll dig around and try to figure out who makes the bracket

    I hated driving my truck without PS. The pump took a crap and wouldn't hold fluid. I drove it for 2 weeks waiting for payday. I can't tell ya how many mailboxes I almost smoked when turning and parking in a tight spot was a pain in the a$$. I will NEVER do it again.
