went to the local u pull it in san diego, and got a P/S steering column for
$34.09. one step closer to the fine "option" of power steering. does any one know of a quick ratio steering gear for our breed of pickup?

I bought a whole truck for $100 on ebay, went to get it and the guy dropped it to $50 just to get rid of it. Pulled the power steering and some misc for myself, parted the rest and made about $200 off the deal. I still have the back half that I made into a trailer.

not bragging, but you asked.

BTW-Good find, those P/S columns are scarce and thats a real good price!

I've never heard of a quick-ratio box for these trucks....not too many people are going slalom-racing with them, so there really isn't a high demand for such an item.

i know they make a quick ratio box for many of the chevrolet steering gears, but im curious as to why their are none to speak of for the ford pickups.

Autofab carries a steering quickener, it used to be in one of their old catalogs a couple years back.

thanks for the info, just trying to bring some modern technology back to my rig, thats all. Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Honda. It doesnt matter whose nameplate is on the vehicle because they ALL break down sometime

you might check w/ your local rebuilder- some of those guys can make the appropriate changes

My trucks never break down, they just take unscheduled breaks.
