some trucks are factory non power steering. 

rock auto has radius arms back in stock, i just ordered two more and bushings.   so both my trucks will have new arms and a spare in the trailer.

oh really! may be able to do some easier swapping, then, if there's a bolt-on box.

need to look at ratios vs quickeners, and if it's a standard saginaw box there may be a TON of different options out there.

I just picked an old year at random, 84 I think.
power and manual boxes listed. look interchangeable at a glance

pitman listed arms all specify p/s

also lists a steering rack bellows for manual steering. WTF? no steering racks listed - and that would be completely impossible with TTB anyway.

well now that makes the inputs look different, and that's not expected at all... hrmph!

[M4wdFab]

ya i dont know there is a lot of conflicting info around.


6.3 turns lock to lock is no good though!  i think im gona stick with my power box with hoses connected and delete the steering pump. 

[mr.mindless]

6.3 is perfect with my 2:1 quickener

Confirmed input spline differences. Fuck.

Felt like it was right on a quick fit around the other box last night bit it’s no good. Heading over to Troyer to see if they stock anything. Otherwise its my shoddily looped power box.

serous interest in a turnkey purchase from a long time gear head at Picto who I was talking to at the holiday party last night. maybe interest from a couple of his friends too.

I can probably introduce you through FB to figure out a check ride if you're looking to move the red one and move on to the next one.

Id send mine to start on the new one.  3600 with rollers, 4000 with grooved race tires.  can knock 150 off and swap quickener and wheel to stock column

sitting in trailer race ready.
