My '53 bolt has a NOS steering box and huck brakes. There is about 3" of play in the wheel and it is a dog to stop unless you really gear down--a challenge even for me--the old truck user. So, a mechanic friend of mine suggested we put in a power steering coversion and change to disc brakes all around. It sounds good to me, but I wonder what the Bolters think. It HAS to be easier to drive, 'cuz my wife drives it, loves to shift, but finds the flakey steering to be a problem and never really gets it going fast enough to realize that it is a dog to slow down over forty. Any thoughts?
