I just converted mine from manual steering to power and what a difference
Before it was a chore in parking lots etc, but on the open road it was fine like others have said. After the conversion, after many parts store trips, the later 72 3/4 ton box has a much quicker ratio, parking is a breeze and going around normal corners is a pleasure. I get to enjoy my ECE 4/6 drop and 1-1/8 inch front sway bar as well now
I don't regret any of it.
