PS Upgrade from Wagoneers

[Fastfrankie]

I was wondering what years Wagoneers have the power steering gear and pump that can be installed in our M715s? I have a few local u-pull it junkyards that have a few Wagoneers sitting in them.

I am running a stock 230 but feel that I can make a mount between the generator and the 12 volt Chevy alternator. The pump would run off the same belt as the 12 volt Chevy alternator.

I pulled my ps box and pump from a '79 J-10 - pitman arm bolted right up too.

The FSJ or at least the Wagoneer started life with a manual steering box that looks just like the one in the M38A1's. Behind the axle with the pitman arm shaft horizontal to the ground. They changed over to the saginaw power steering box that is the exact outside dimensions as the GM cars from the late '60's until they went to front wheel drive in the late '80's.

The FSJ boxes along with their pitman arms bolt right up to the M715. The GM car boxes still need the FSJ pitman arms.

So basically ANY full size woody Wagoneers from the 1970's up until 1990 say will work - both the gear and pump?

The pump's no that important. If I remember right all these FSJ's used the GM pump anyway. I'll use the box from my J10(and maybe the hoses), but the pump I'll reuse from the Caddy motor so I have no bracket issues(might not with the J truck pump but I figure whoever buys that engine will like having it).

Even if you're using a Dodge or Ford mill their pump will still (probably) work just fine with the Jeep(GM sourced) box.

The main point of the matter is that no matter what pump you go with, you'll still have to fabricate the brackets.

the one thing to remeber is if you use a ps box with flared fittings you need to use a pump with flared fittings if its a late model box with o ring hoses the pump needs to match
