Highboy Steering conversion
My '76 like most is a leaky mess in the power steering. rather than dump a bunch of money in rebuilt parts wouldn't I be better off converting it to regular power steering ? so far I've only found the Benchworks kit, not cheap but it looks like a nice set up.

Am I on the right track here ?

I remember reading an old thread where a FTE member put a Benchworks conversion on his truck....then took it back off and was trying to sale it.
