When I turn hard to the left, my left front tire rubs against frame and power steering lines. Has anyone used a steering stop to make it stop shorter?

Tom, most all our old trucks have stops built in, you might get more help being more specific, factory setup or ?? ... year? straight axle or modern front clip? wheel/tire size? etc

What make, year, size truck?

There are no steering stops on my 54/55 2-ton 350 GMC COE (as are found on smaller trucks). I checked with Spanky about this, and I think he said he also could not find "exterior" stops as used on smaller trucks.

When I put the steering column back on (this coming Spring), I am going to see how the steering stops. Now, without the steering box/connection in place, the front axle is the steering stop.

pretty unique truck, keep'er going! ... if you don't have a manual, find one here, check about page 4 that has a pic of the stop screw adjustment for 100-370 trucks
