power rack
 
Before I go any further with my build, is a power rack and pinion worth the added expense? Is the handling that much better?

The steering is more precise and it tends to wander less.

Going from a steering box to a rack yeah thats worth the money.Power or not is up to you,If its just a driver i would go power.

if you need a full rebuild on your steering components and a new gearbox its close in price.

I know there are full kits out there with a new crossmember and a new rack but does anyone sell something to retrofit our own rack onto the truck?

Unisteer makes a bolt in power rack setup, that requires NO welding at all. Very simple to install.

I also happen to have one for sale here...

I have been reading this thread researching R&P for my 72. Looks like unisteer and LMC are selling the same bolt on kit for around $1650. Even use the same picture. Looks pretty good if you have a couple of grand to spend.

Summit has this same kit, I think it is from unisteer, for even less. Guess I'll keep looking as the price keeps getting better. Would really like to have a R&P for my 72!!!!

Anyone know if there are any good swaps / donor vehicles out there, to get a used unit out of? Are they easy to check to make sure a used unit would be safe? I've never installed a rack set up but am also thinking about it if there is a good way to do it for about half the price.

Re: power rack
 
I've found several vehicles that I think would be good donors but does anyone know where we can find just the mounting bracket?

I'm interested in the unisteer rack in this post. How did it work out for you. Has it held up for you. Any follow up would be great. I know the thread is sort of old but hoping someone has some info. Thanks
