64 C10 Front steering system question
I'm back from the dead. Mostly because my C10 spun a bearing on the 454 and it's time to do some upgrades to the project. This is a street truck in every sense. I'm looking at upgrading from manual steering in the truck. I'm wondering how far do I need to go to have a more modern feel.
A. Porter built front cross-member, coil overs, rack and pinion? B. Rack and pinion only with a coil spring change (900 lb springs that have been cut already for the big block) C. Traditional power steering and a coil spring change. A splined sway bar is likely on the list for B&C above. The truck already has the front suspension completely rebuilt 7 years ago, porter built control arms, and an upgraded sway bar. I want the steering tight / firm. Currently with the big block and manual steering when the tail swings out, the correction is soooo slow it's dangerous. Same if it's wet out. Considering a wilwood spindle upgrade and bigger front brakes as well. My build thread is super old, and I'm departing the vintage build feel for something I can drive more daily. Thoughts? |
