DACC Members,

I need your advice.

What are the average estimated costs to convert a 1955 Chevy Belair 265 V8 to Power Steering and Power Disc Brakes?

I am looking at a 1955 Chevy Belair that has no power steering and has the standard brakes. I want to see what it will cost me to add PS & PB before I buy it and so that my wife can drive it too!

I appreciate any advice.

Also, what mechanic or company in the DFW area would provide an affordable quality job for me?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Steve ..

you might contact Barry Wilson who sponsors our club, tell him what you want done and get a firm price for the parts/install .. that would give you an idea .. www.WilsonAuto.com ..

I would guess $1,500 to $2,000 if you did it yourself. At least double that amonut if you take it in. I'm just guessing because I never keep track of what I spend.

You might do what I do. Go widow shopping at http://www.danchuk.com/ one of my favorite hobbies.
