Just out of curiosity, why are you wanting to do this conversion? I can't really see where ther would be any advantage over the stock steering box.

Not sure if they would be man enough for a truck though....
To work correctly I imagine a rack would have to be mounted to the axle itself to avoid horrendous bumpsteer,which would result in a very complicated steering linkage.
