Title: my 1986 swb sierra
Post by: mustang22 on October 11, 2011, 08:07:20 pm: Heres a few pics of my sierra. It came from bc and had a camper from the factory in it. It used to be a baby blue color but i had it painted a few years ago. It currently has a 305 with hedman hedders and 2.5 flowmasters and a holly carb with a 3 spd column shift and no power steering. Pretty old school.

Post by: 1979C20 on October 19, 2011, 05:21:21 am: Driving with power steering can be a pain. If you have a power steering box with now power steering, dry steering is impossible, and turning from a roll takes two hands. Im not sure if these trucks were ever equipped with a manual steering box, but thats a little easier due to the different gear ratios in the box, its a little easier to turn.

Post by: slammed79 on October 19, 2011, 06:21:32 am: Manual steering was available on these, but if the box goes out, its cheaper to switch it over to power steering with all new parts than buy a manual box.

I just bought a power steering box for my 74 and saw the manual steering box on the computer at Checker, it was almost double the 125 I spent on the power box. I hope the manual box never goes out on my 73, I don't wanna spend that kinda money!
