Did Toyota ever have stock powersteering on a 55? If so what year? I'm not into doing any metal mods on this cruiser. But if it were stock on them I would be interested in finding one.

Thats ok cause I'll probably be asking you for help whenever I do the ps on my 55 so youll still get to enjoy the experience.
Yup. I believe it was definitely 1979, and possibly 78? Had a box I was all set to put in but it was a wreck. Roadsports(ron) 79 had it.

Lance Williams at IPOR sells a bracket to mount a minibox. Thats the route I'm taking.

Though it doesn't look as stock, a mintruck box is supposed to have the same internals as a 55 PS box, so you would be getting the same 'performance'.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but as for the US market, I believe late '78 is the earliest you will find it.
My 10/78 had A/C only I was told by someone who would know 50% of 78s had P/S or A/C that leaves it 25% of the 1400 imported that year. and all 700 of the 79' had P/S and A/C ( for what it.s it's worth ) but you need the threaded holes in the block 79 or later 2f to use the OEM pump. $.02..Dusty
