Re: Eliminate draft tube options
My '52 has 60s vintage c10 suspension and steering. I grew up without power steering and assumed I'd never need it for the '52. Drove it last year armstrong, then swapped to a 80s suburban PS box and pump as I thought the lack of PS precluded my wife from being able to enjoy driving it.
Power steering made it a lot more enjoyable to drive for me too. Without power it was always just a bit slower than people expect you to be getting around in modern traffic and parking lots. And harder work!
EPAS would be a tight fit under dash with firewall hung pedals, at least with my C10 based setup where clutch and brake hang on opposite sides of column.
