Your 1955–59 Chevy ½-ton may look right at home cruising down the road, but the driving experience doesn’t always match the style. If steering effort is starting to take the fun out of your truck, there’s a simple way to bring it up to modern standards without altering its original character. The CPP 400 Series Power Steering Conversion Kit is engineered to work with your factory steering column, delivering easier, more responsive steering while keeping everything looking stock.
Manual steering is part of classic truck history, but modern traffic, tight parking spots, and long drives can make it less enjoyable. This conversion replaces that heavy steering feel with smooth, predictable power assist, transforming how your truck behaves at low speeds and around town. Designed as a true bolt-in upgrade, the kit installs using factory mounting points and doesn’t require cutting, welding, or permanent modifications.
