How do you flush the power steering system in a 1977 Chevy truck?

Ideally, use a transmission flush machine.
Failing that, disconnect the return hose, then run the engine and steer back and forth until you can't do so (with the front wheels off the ground.) Repeat three times. This is more complete that a Power Steering flush from most chain service outfits.
I recommending using Dexron instead of "power steering fluid" for this vehicle. The better detergent additives and higher compressibility can keep the system going for a longer time. If, however, you've just recently (less than 6 months) replaced both the pump and the gearbox, you might be better off using Honda-compatible power steering fluid.

Bad juju. Don't do it. If you've already done it, you'll probably have to have the power steering system flushed; brake fluid has significantly different characteristics from power steering fluid. Agree with above. It's pretty caustic, flush and get it out of there before you have problems.
