Power steering upgrade is complete!!! - smooooth like butter
Why did I wait so long????

Nice work We-cruz........I put power steering in my old chevy and I now exactly what you mean. My wife still hates that truck (she had a couple of school parking lot incidents with the "arm-strong" steering)
The one thing I did notice (still have not corrected) is that it was too easy to steer, because the stock castor settings had the truck "on its toes" to aid with the manual steering and now with power steering it is almost dodgy at highway speed.
Power steering in a 40. That is a great Mod.

Wholesale Automatic Transmissions
being stuck is my specialty ...lol'z...
Simon, are they selling direct again or did you have to go through Outback/ATEB? I had looked at their upgraded valve body in case I keep the Auto Safari. However, I wasn't willing to pay Outbacks mark-up.

outback/radd cruisers combo.
the valve body is a little $pendy, but it's also a great up grade.
it's only money ...
