The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun 59 1-ton Power Steering

According to the GM heritage info and the 1957 shop manual, power steering was an option on the bigger trucks, it was not the modern style as we see today. The power assist incorporated a hydraulic cylinder with remote valving, the cylinder connected to the tie rod and a fixed mount at the other end. My 1978 Corvette has the same style. With or without a load on my '57 LCF I have no problem with ease of turning, the design works fine for me.
