United States

Saginaw Model 800 steering box ("4 bolt - 4 turn") rebuilt and ported by West Texas Offroad. Pitman arm machined to accept GM 1-ton tie rod ends.

1.75" hydraulic ram (2.25"o.d.) with .75" piston rod. 8" stroke. Comes with two 5/8" heim joints.

Saginaw power steering pump modified for higher flow rates.

Borgeson double-D steering shaft with u-joints.

I used this steering system for two years before switching to full hydro. It turned 42" tires with ease. $450 plus shipping from 97701.

mmmm...tempting.

so jack, i haven't looked too seriously at hydro-assist, but i am goin to be tossin 37s under my rig after i get the 62 axle swap and soa finished (at some point before the apocalypse, hopefully).

in your opinion, would it be worth putting hydro-assist on a truck like that?
(be careful here...your answer could spur me on to spending my next paycheck, ha ha)

Sorry, the parts are all sold. Happened very quickly on Pirate.

Malphrus, I am a big fan of hydro assist. No loss of feel on the highway and much easier steering offroad.
