1948-52 Ford 1/2 Ton Truck, installs in OEM location, includes 460 Series gearbox, hoses and pitman arm, manual to power steering conversion, pump kit not included
"The CPP 460 Series Power Steering Conversion Kit is designed to convert your 1948-52 Ford 1/2 Ton Truck from manual steering to modern power steering while maintaining a compact, room saving design. Based on our proven gearbox platform, the 460 Series features a larger internal bore to deliver increased hydraulic assist, improving steering response, reducing steering effort, and providing better overall control.
This kit installs in the factory location, allowing the gearbox to bolt directly to the frame like original equipment for a clean, straightforward installation. The package includes a 460 Series gearbox, matched pitman arm, and hoses to simplify the conversion process.
Due to the steering geometry on 1948-52 Ford trucks, installation will require either two steering u-joints or a double u-joint to properly connect the steering column to the gearbox.
Each gearbox is a brand new unit, not remanufactured, and is built with modern internal components for long term durability and consistent performance. Ideal for restoring drivability or upgrading your truck, the CPP 460 Series delivers improved handling, increased steering assist, and a more comfortable driving experience."
Classic Ford trucks have timeless style, but anyone who has driven one with manual steering knows they can take some effort to maneuver, especially at low speeds, in tight spaces, or with wider modern tires. The CPP 460 Series Power Steering Conversion Kit is designed to bring modern steering comfort and control to your 1948–52 Ford 1/2 Ton truck while keeping the installation clean and compact.
When it comes to modernizing the steering feel of your classic Chevy or GMC, CPP’s 400 Series Power Steering Gearbox stands out as one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. Designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for factory steering boxes, the 400 Series delivers improved road feel, tighter steering response, and the confidence you need behind the wheel — whether you're cruising Main Street or carving corners on a weekend run.
Hello Matt and thank you for reaching out. This means you will need 2 u-joints and a small piece of double D shaft to connect the gear box to the column.
