If there is any way I can help, let me know.

Look, my point is that the Ross and Saginaw types of steering systems are ubiquitous on larger cars, pickups, light, medium, and heavy duty trucks, etc. Basically, everywhere you have a high speed over the road vehicle. Please make a technical argument why your system is better/ safer.

I'd love to see the pics.

I just can't understand why folks want to cobble garbage together to save a couple hundred bucks. If I were in a wreck, I feel confident that I can defend my choice of steering gear: it matches an OEM installation for a similarly sized vehicle using parts equal to or stronger than the...

Gotta look harder; they are out there and not rare.

I wanted a SAFE steering system at a low cost and looked at the OEM systems for guidance. Some things you won't find on OEM on-road trucks: full hydraulic steering, torque generators, steering servos, jam nuts, etc. There are already two good solutions: the HF54 and Tom's kit. IMHO, the...

I made some missteps along the way with my ross box which increased the cost somewhat but could do it again for ~$1k. The garrison valve new will be more than $1k and doesn't fix the number of turns lock to lock PLUS it requires a slave cylinder. I don't know why you can't find a ross box; I...

Have you called the oem manufacturer: Garrison Mfg? Clearly, you aren't trying very hard if you haven't started at the top! The drag link for the ross box cost me ~$100 plus the tie rod ends. I left the pitman arm alone. If this very minor cost is a deal breaker; learn to be happy with...

I read this as well. Also notice that AFAIK, NO OEM uses this for their truck/car power steering. This should be the most telling that it is not the best solution. Furthermore, you will still have what, 9 turns lock to lock. It is safer to use a modern box with fewer turns as it lets you get...

There seem to be plenty of ross boxes available locally. If you do a web search; LOTS show up. The drag link valves are available new from the oem supplier: Garrison. They also come up on ebay from time to time but, like the ross boxes, you have to know what to look for and be diligent.
