Internation medium duty trucks and busses have one that works. Not sure exactly on years but 80s era plus or minus five years. It is a power steering box. If you need a new air assist. I don't know of any.

there is no NOS power steering for the A2, just air assist, so you will have to make everything yourself. or you can buy a kit, special price for SS. lots of info on my website.

5198- if the item on the firewall is silver (mine is) it is the safety cut-off switch. Don't mess with it. The regulator is black and usually mounted on the frame behind the left front wheel. You can get rid of that- its not needed.
