    Power steering for the Deuce?

    Ahh... mystery solved, then!:-) If not done yet - and while you wait for parts, take a few minutes to check caster angle. We want +3° at least, better +4°.

    Part#: all I could find is what the picture shows. This draglink W/ tie rods must be for a particular Ford truck application, at least the back of the joint is stamped with the oval. The size of the cone is the same as the one from the original Deuce draglink. G.

    Power steering for the Deuce?

    ..... Ever tried to steer a Dodge Ram 2500 with the motor shut down?:roll: Our case is more or less the same situation, you would have to "fight" the wheel with now only 3 1/2 to 4 turns stop to stop instead of almost 6 turns, stock. Plus there is a considerable amount of slack now (about 1/4...

    Power steering for the Deuce?

    Matt, thanks for that info, it can never be too much!:grin: Glad to know these parts are "popular" and still available/serviceable. Yes, I had bought some seal kits just in case and it is very easy for most of them to install them yourself. That goes for the ones for valve head, st. shaft...

    Power steering for the Deuce?

    YES, they do...! NO, the ones listed are all "waiting" on the shelf, for future similar projects. The only one not suitable is the 044. Wish I could help with that, they are scarce! Good luck finding one! I took plenty of detail pics during my second conversion, if anyone is interested... G.

    Power steering for the Deuce?

    For specs of a typical 5ton MF pump see my post#14 here: I know of variants out there, limited to only 1000psi but slightly higher capacity. Specs of such a pump are added below. (This particular pump was successfully used in a similar case by SS-member Baxter, maybe he could chime in....?) I...
