Steering?
OK I have manual steering, which is OK but....... What do you all have on your truck, power, manual? Where did you get the parts? Was it affordable and how difficult to change from manual to power? Thanks ahead of time!

I have power steering & disc brakes from a 76 donor. Parts weren't free but because I sold parts not needed my upgrade was -0- in cost.

Ok, to rebuild the steering is easy and straight forward. Good news there, also rebuilding the twin I beam (King pin kit) is also pretty easy.

I swapped in the complete I-beams, no rebuild needed.
