power steering gear box
« on: February 21, 2011, 08:42:52 am »
hey everyone. i have a 77 crewcab that needs a new gear box. i was wondering if there was an upgrade or different year gearbox that could give me a tighter turning radius. or is there a way to tweak the steering to get a tighter turn? any info would be appreciated. thanks

  I don't know if there is an upgrade, but this is an article to increase the pressure on your existing one.  Hope it helps.

There isn't any upgrades as far as worm gear boxes.

thanks bake74 and captkaos for the info. so all the steering gear boxes for these years are all the same turning ratio pretty much? thanks again.
