Steering Gear Options

[Richard2112]

Having towed my 70 C30 on a dolly with the front wheels strapped on to it, I now find that my truck wanders and there's a lot of free play in the steering wheel.

I wasn't ready for this and am looking for a cheap replacement for my steering gear so I can focus on other matters. There's a chance I'll probably just visit a salvage yard and shop for a used gear (for now) but It's unlikely that I'll find one of the manual steering variety (which I like)

My question is two part...Can I use a power steering gear as a manual And what years/models might I find one that'll fit?

Presently, my steering gear is mounted in the stock position (outside the frame)
