Modern Steering Comfort for 1955–59 Chevy ½-Ton Trucks

If your 1955–59 Chevy ½-ton still turns heads but feels a little dated behind the wheel, there’s an upgrade that brings it into the modern world without changing its soul. The CPP 400 Series Power Steering Conversion Kit is designed specifically to work with your factory steering column, giving you smoother, easier steering while preserving the truck’s original look.

There’s no denying the nostalgia of manual steering, but in real-world driving—parking lots, low-speed cruising, and longer trips—it can quickly become tiring. This conversion replaces that effort with controlled, confident power steering, making your truck far more enjoyable to drive on today’s roads. Even better, the system is engineered as a true bolt-in solution, using factory mounting points and requiring no cutting or irreversible modifications.

What’s Included

This kit provides the core components needed to modernize your steering system:

  • CPP 400 Series power steering box
  • Custom-fit pitman arm
  • Rag joint designed to mate with the original steering column
  • Hydraulic hoses and mounting hardware

Power steering pump, brackets, and pulley are sold separately.

Why This Upgrade Makes Sense

  • Direct bolt-in installation using factory locations
  • Keeps the original steering column for a stock appearance
  • Noticeably improved steering control and feel
  • Well-suited for restorations, restomods, and cruisers
  • Balanced assist that still maintains good road feedback

Whether you’re bringing a Task Force Chevy back to life or building a classic truck that’s meant to be driven and enjoyed, this power steering conversion delivers a clear improvement in comfort and control. It’s one of those upgrades you’ll appreciate every time you pull into a parking space or head out for a long cruise.

For classic style with modern steering confidence, the CPP 400 Series Power Steering Conversion Kit is a smart move—one that makes every mile more enjoyable.
