Evan,

Thank you for the pics and information. I have two different '59 Apaches that I plan to upgrade with power steering. The first one is a stock Apache 32 with a 235 and the original 4 speed and will be a good candidate for going the original factory set up that you have shown.

My other truck is an Apache 31 that had been poorly hot rodded (butchered) by a previous owner and will need some major reconstruction in the steering department. As my plans for that one are yet to be determined I will continue reading post's by you and other Bolter's as I decide which way to go (IFS or retain the straight axle). It will however remain a rough around the edges hot rod and hopefully become my future daily driver.

Thanks again
John
