Update on my post....kit was a basic one from what was Chevy Duty...used 1987 steering box. Not hitting stops...or any components from disc brake kit. The limit is in the box it seems. I shortened the steering arm like another poster had done to give better turning ratio. The welding was performed at a top rated shop here in Columbia, Owens Welding. BTW Bartamos, The part I had welded is the steering arm that connects the drag link to the pitman arm. forgive me for not keeping my terms straight. You said, Power steering just makes it easier to steer. It has nothing to do with stop to stop geometry. actually , it seems that the steering components can and do limit stop to stop geometry. But I could be wrong. A poster from England had recommended shortening the steering arm as something he had done to his. I did ask others who are reputable builders about this before I had the steering arm shortened by 1 inch. It was years ago that all of this was done and this project was put on the back burner for 5 yrs or so. Now I am ready to get it on the road.
