I have a 1966 Chevy C10, all original, which means there's no power steering or brakes. I need to know how much it would be to get those put in. Or, if i bought the parts would i be able to install them myself? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars, so dumb it down if possible. Any help is appreciated.

Hello, just GOOGLE power steering & power brake retro kits or upgrades, you'll be amazed @ what you'll find, I have seen bolt on applications with no welding, cutting or any modifications.

And there is a Component kit, which is considerably more expensive.

Which one do i need?
Is the component kit for high performance?

It all depends on what you do with the truck, how much horsepower do you have, & your driving style. I would go with what I could afford.
