Re: NEED HELP
the 77 2wd power steering will work except for the engine brackets. the disc set up should also work fine. the transmission wont work for your engine.

Re: NEED HELP
well i paid 125 for my disk set up out of a 73. 25 bucks for the power steering pump and box when i bought my replacement cab from a guy and the 35 for a column that got with the disk setup. so since he is a friend you probably dont want to low ball him maybe 250 - 300
