Need Steering Ideas

[69l46vert]

Getting to the point where I need to think about the steering in my 54 4wd build. The stock frame has the shackle at the front and the fixed end at the rear of the front leaf spring.

I have a 4wd P/S box from a 72 that I had hoped to use mounting it pretty far forward using the 72 style drag link pointing to the rear to meet the steering arm just like it was in the stock 72 K2500. (Dana 44)

Is this an invitation for bump steer? These springs don't have a lot of travel, maybe 2 1/2". No lift. They are stock 54 GMC 150 springs. (2" wide 3/4 ton)
Should I turn away from this plan before I even start and start looking at cross steer options? My 44 does have a flat top pass side knuckle.

I noticed in OrrieG's build thread he has the same setup with the shackle at the front. If you read this OrrieG have you noticed excessive bump steer? I won't mind a little but want to avoid excessive bump steer problems.

What about changing the mounting of the front springs so the front mounting point is fixed and the rear has the movable shackle?

This part of the build is the one that I had always sort of kicked down the road because I don't know much about steering (been learning a lot lately though) Two weeks ago I didn't know what bump steer was or crossover either for that matter.
It will be an occasional use vehicle but this aspect has me worried. Any thought or comments very much appreciated. Thanks, Rick
