It is a washer bottle for the windshield washer. It has nothing to do with the steering.

thanks guys, i looked a little closer at the pic and see a bolt pattern on the firewall where it looks like it belongs. question tho, how is the washer function actuated from inside the cab?

Hey BTW, I had an idea the other day - we can use our air pressure to pressurize a washer bottle, for nozzle duty.

The washer bottle is mounted in the correct place. These were added by the military as part of a kit which was on a Modification Work Order (MWO) that gave all the parts and instructions to put it together. To squirt the windows you should see in the cab a little upside down hook hanging from the dash. This is your manual pump. Yes manual. The thing rocks in an up down motion to pump the fluid from the bottle to the squirter on the hood.
