A friend of mine bought the kit but never installed it. Don't know if he still has it or not. What do you want to know?

grin grin No doubt why "Joker" has his name.

Once you get that truck in a straight line, you don't need no power steering. wink

My '55 1st Suburban is a lot easier to steer when I drive it everyday. Maybe not the first week, but afterward I no longer notice...

microbe, what do you want to know? Either he sold the kit with the truck, or took it with hime when he moved to Colorado. I'll ask him if you'll tell me what to ask.

Thanks for all the replys,the main reason that I was thinking of going to power steering are. #1 the steering column is to high. #2 I would like to put on a smaller steering wheel. #3 changing to a modern power saginaw steering box will give a better or closer ratio as well as the power steering . I drive my truck a lot And items like better brakes ,steering etc are important . old navy 51..............
