You have a unique problem in that every other 4x4 is power.  If it were me I would find a donor and convert yours to power steering.  Personally I prefer armstrong steering but I've never experienced manual in a 4x4

     What year and model is your truck ?  As far as your tires go, BFG used to make them in that size, but they are no longer making the 33 x 9.5 x 15, and I didn't have any luck finding a brand that still makes them.

I ran 9.50's on my Jeep TJ haven't found anyone making them that size anymore.

A metric sized equivalent would have to be 245/95/15

thanks for the metric size. its a 74 chevy short bed. manual steering and 4x4 require verry strong arms, when you hit a rut you can forget about getting driving out of it.
