Rusty has been having a problem installing his power steering on his 62. Seems the upper power steering bracket was interfering with his generator bracket. He asked me for some help so I thought I would post it here in case anyone else was having the same problem.
The front bracket is different for standard steering and for power steering. The part number on the standard front bracket is #3745504 and it is stamped into the back side of the bracket. It also has a large C stamped into the back side. The bracket for power steering is #3755720 and that number is not stamped into the bracket I have. The #3755720 bracket does have a large D stamped into the front side.
You can see in the side photo, the standard steering bracket on top. The PS bracket on the bottom. See how the bend in the PS bracket is further out and therefore...clears the upper power steering pump bracket.
On the Show Cars brackets that we sell, they do not have a separate listing for the power steering applications.
The upper generator adjusting braces are different between these 2 applications also as is the generator side bracket.
Now before someone gets all excited, this is the only PS bracket I have and I need it for a 62 380HP 409 project. Sorry but it is the only one I have.
Hope this helps somebody!!
