Recommendations for Power Steering rack & Pinion kit for 64 C10

I have a 1964 C10 with the old steering box. Who has installed an after market power steering rack and pinion kit ? The most common thing i have heard is that the turning radius is limited when installing. Have you installed one, name brand and what issues did you run into.



Greatly appreciate any help

I have installed a power rack system from POL - It is shown in my build thread and it is a direct bolt in kit. i have not used or tested it yet, but the install was super easy simple once i stopped trying to make it so much more difficult.

I used the No Limit Engineering power rack. No complaints with mine. If the turning radius was reduced, it was not enough that I noticed it as a problem.

You state, "the turning radius was reduced". In their very small description they state it delivers a full turn radius.
Quote:
These power units deliver a full turn radius in only 2-3/4 turns lock to lock.
I have been looking at these myself and that has been a concern I had.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
