is it hard to drive without powersteering?

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.

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!
