Turning Radius - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1989 C1500 extended cab longbed & a 1998 C2500 extended cab longbed. It seems like the newer truck has a tighter turning radius when steering. Is this just my imagination, or did something change in the steering between these years. I don't think it's a quicker steering ratio, it's almost like the newer trucks wheel is turned farther when cranked all the way in one direction.

Nothing really comes to mind that they are that much difference to make them steer sharper other than the gear boxes are different.
