Re: Power Vs Manual Steering & Tires

Stock manual steering with 16" wheels and 7.50/16 tires was ok except for tight parking and 3 point turns on logging roads. First build I used the stock box adapted to the 74 k10 axle. Tire size increased to 225/75 16 which combined with additional weight and stuff on the 4wd axles made it even more difficult. it also totally worn out the box. This time I went with the power unit and so far just driving the little bit I have love it. I am dealing with the same issue on my 64 Chevelle and got a power set up to use when I rebuild it.
