I found out today that I have arthritis in my back. Driving a manual steering truck seems to be one of the agravating issues, so I'm thinking about power steering today.
The truck I want to convert is my '55 1st GMC Suburban. It has a straight axle front with the GMC sway bar and a GMC 270.
I'd like to hear two things. First, what power steering conversion are you using on your straight axle truck, and do you like it? Second, what power steering pump and brackets did you use to mount a power steering pump on a GMC motor like my 270.
My long term plan is IFS and a V-8 for this truck, but I wanted to drive it as a stocker for at least five more years first. If I can't come up with a good power steering option that works with the current suspension and motor I may have to move up the modifications a bit...
