Power steering pump cradle...

[rose jackets67]

Does anyone know if the PS pump cradle / bracket is the same on a CUCV as on a civy pickup? Mine was broken at one of the mounting holes and repaired poorly some time in the past and I'd like to go ahead and replace it while I have the accessories off the motor.

Does anyone have one sitting around?

Thats the first repair I needed help with and joined SS... there are plenty of threads on power steering bracket. I bought a new one from the chevy dealer for $16 bucks I think. Also you will need a power steering pulley puller...I got one at Harbor freight.... You can do it! Search the threads.

Chevy dealers have discontinued that bracket #140330879

GM may have discontenued the bracket but you can still find them at the dealer.

I just Binged the part number and found Allways Chevy in Texas had one for $26.

Discounted Rare and Genuine Parts

And the part number is #14033879. An extra zero is in the above number.

I had to do one as well. Found stacked washers where the standoff was supposed to be which was why my belts were off alignment as well. I have stopped throwing belts on a regular basis since the replacement as well.

Thanks WH, Dealers were a no go around around here. (SF Bay Area) Since this seems to be a problem item, I'm looking into changing over to a type 2 pump and remote reservoir & filter setup like the performance boys do. I hate having the filler cap down there anyway. I'll post my findings re: pump & bracket #s.

Alway's Chevy is sold out.

I called the dealership in Anchorage and they were able to get mine within a week IIRC when i got mine.
