Anybody in Scottsdale want to help develop power steering?

Post by robertob »

So I emailed Benchwork Steering (benchworksteering.com) about building a power steering kit for our trucks like the ones they offer for other classic trucks, or like the one formerly made by prototech in canada. They were interested but said they would need a truck to prototype on. Scottsdale is a looooong way from Long Beach or I would do it.

Shame aint it, 20 years of no power steering kit conversions, Lazy outifts cant buy a truck to make up kits that nobody is offering or ever will, i made my own out of a Ford 784x4 box, huge pain in the rear for sure. Is yur truck 4x4 or 2x2??? What motor 225 318 or 383 etc etc??

Does it need to be 4wd, or will a 2wd do? I have a line on a 2wd truck that could possibly be used as a prototype.
