Re: Anyone out there have ram assist steering on your running truck?

Many years ago I had a 67 with factory power steering. I wish I could say favorable things about it, and maybe it was just worn out, but it never worked nearly as well as the later boxes, and while I owned it I always threated to convert from a salvage truck, but never did. I know I replaced the control valve which helped, but still was not what it should have been, especially if the truck was sitting still. Rebuild of the ram might have helped, but in those days I was young, and money was tight, so, I ran it until the truck was traded. I know I have never really had any issue with the later boxes, and I cannot say the same for the ram assist. I am getting ready to go over a 73 Corvette so I will see how that goes, but it shows signs of lots of leaks right off, so I suspect a total rebuld is coming.
