Uni-steer opinions
Has anyone tried the Uni-steer electric power steering? It looks like it would be a fairly simple conversion, if you wanted to keep your straight axle. This, along with Speedway's disc conversion, would really modernize my 63 uni. I don't need it to handle like a sports car---just steer-and stop easily.
Just wondered if anyone had tried it; or, has an opinion.
Thanks, Brett

It's pretty expensive and does not appear to be bolt-in. You may also need to upgrade the charging system.
Properly inflated tires and greased steering components go a long way. I'm all of 130lbs and have no problems at all maneuvering my truck.
A friend of mine adapted electric power steering, I think from a Toyota, in his '60 F100. It works well.

It would sure be nice to have power steering---with no pump, belts, or leaks! CCP has the power assist; but it needs a pump, etc. I just thought the electric would be nice; if it works well.
