Modernize Your Ride: 1967-72 Chevy C10 2-Wheel Drive Electric Power Steering Conversion Kit
Transform your classic 1967-1972 Chevy C10 2-wheel drive truck with our state-of-the-art Electric Power Steering (EPS) Conversion Kit. Say goodbye to heavy steering and hello to smooth, responsive control that makes driving your vintage truck a true pleasure, whether you're navigating city streets or cruising the open road.
Why Upgrade to Electric Power Steering?
Swapping to electric power steering offers significant advantages over outdated hydraulic systems, making it the ultimate upgrade for your C10:
-
No Pump, No Fluid, No Leaks: Eliminate the complexities of a hydraulic system. EPS means no more bulky pumps, leaky hoses, or messy fluid reservoirs, simplifying your engine bay and removing common points of failure.
-
Reduced Engine Drag: Unlike hydraulic systems that constantly draw power from your engine, our electric system only activates when needed. This frees up horsepower that would otherwise be consumed by a hydraulic pump, potentially improving your truck's performance and fuel efficiency.
-
Dynamic Assist When You Need It: The system intelligently activates only when you're turning, providing substantial power assistance at low speeds (perfect for parking or tight maneuvers) and a firmer, more connected feel at higher speeds. This offers the best of both worlds: effortless control and enhanced road feedback.
-
Fully Adjustable Feel: An integrated adjustable potentiometer empowers you to fine-tune the level of steering assist to perfectly match your driving style. Dial in maximum assist for comfortable daily driving, or reduce it for a more performance-oriented feel.
-
Reliable & Maintenance-Free: Designed for durability, electric power steering systems require virtually no maintenance and are inherently less prone to wear compared to their hydraulic counterparts. This means more time enjoying your C10 and less time on upkeep.
What's Included in the Kit:
This comprehensive conversion kit provides all the essential components for your upgrade:
-
Electric Rack & Pinion: The core of the system, delivering precise and responsive steering.
-
Prewired Control Module: Simplifies installation with factory-calibrated settings.
-
All Mounting Hardware: Everything you need for a secure and straightforward fit.
How It Works: Intelligent & Adjustable Power
Our EPS system uses a sophisticated computer to measure the effort you apply to the steering wheel. An integrated electric motor then amplifies this effort, providing immediate and accurate power assist. The included adjustable potentiometer puts you in complete control, allowing you to customize the amount of assistance. For example, you can enjoy maximum power assist for easy maneuvering in parking lots and less assistance for a firmer, more controlled feel on the highway. The system is also highly efficient, activating only when you're turning.
