Nate... keep in mind my 2 vehicles are K5's! grin I know all about the straight axle, and I agree to a point..

Also, don't forget I was raised on a ranch, and that means I've had plenty of experience in driving vehicles without powersteering!

I may not have done a rodstoration before, but believe me I know the implications of a straight axle, and not powersteering, probably as well as anybody.

May the force be with you - SoloWookie
