Re: rack and pinion???
+1. If you don't do it now, you'll be adding it later...

Re: rack and pinion???
Power is the only way to go, I've had both manual and power, is so much nicer with the power....Jim

Re: rack and pinion???
I suggest power also, and as Hart_Rod said, if you don't know, you will probably be finding yourself adding it later. We are a Unisteer dealer, so let us know if you we can help you out with any of the parts.

Re: rack and pinion???
If you like things simple and less to buy or replace do to failure down the road and don't mind using two hands to steer from a stop and plan on using the orignal big steering wheel go manual.
If you don't mind spending a few extra bucks and want to steer with ease at will go with a power rack. My 68c10 is manual and has the original wheel and I don't have a problem backing a trailer is a whole other story. |
