Jerry; Point well taken.The steering gear I'm using is the whole setup[power steering box,column w/collapsible shaft] taken out of the donor truck [1976 GMC 4x4].The way the guy in the thread has the steering box mounted back toward the axel looks like it would have a problem with bump steer.I'm going to mount it up towards the front of the '45 frame where it was originally mounted in the donor truck where it worked just fine and it had a lift kit and big tires Rotating it 90 degrees should help also.The jury is still out on the lowering thing with the axel flip.I may have trouble with the 7.50-20s scraping the fenders-they're already close. Thanks, Jeff
