Power or no power steering

[BRL]

Spent 8 years in the AF as a Construction Equipment Operator and I love manual steering on my truck!

I've had both.

Love to crank the wheel on a hard turn and then release it and let it spin...weeee!

Of course I live in the sticks and never try to parallel park the dang thing.

I have a thread in the suspension area. I've always wondered why you can't put the inside of car manual 16:1 ratio into the truck with 24:1 ratio. The casting looks the same on both except the mount flange is on opposite sides.

Heck yeah, 16:1 is better than 24:1, right?
Will it work?

I have often thought about buying one to see. My truck has power assist so it would be nice to have 4 turns instead of 6. But that's a $350 gamble. Would be nice to know if someone has swapped car and truck box parts before.

Is this a viable option?

I emailed borgeson on the weekend and tjey told me as long as I have an oe box I can interchange with their 16:1 parts from their box.

I'm for no power steering and, no tilt for that matter because, those are things that used to be commonplace to see a truck with no tilt or power steering. When you're going fast enough you don't need power steering. I didn't buy (Zooey) my C/10 just for her looks.
