Don’t discard the original stuff!

I rebuilt/refurbished my 51 GMC 1 ton front end components and box and it steers beautifully. 60mph down the road, arrow straight, light finger touch; I was shocked when my truck was completed how nicely it steered. You might be surprised at how easy it can be. And it wasn’t $900, I can tell you that!

With radials and no power steering, parallel parking can be a chore though! However, I usually park way at the other end of a lot just so ding dongs don’t smuck the side of my truck with their doors.
