Ford F100 F250 Power Steering Conversion

If you are thinking of converting an older ford truck from the Armstrong type manual steering to power steering an excellent source of information is here http://www.fordification.com/tech/technical-index.htm See one of my previous posts about the subtle differences that I has to make to the mods suggested by fordification. This post is to add some detail like the fitting sizes needed and the recommendation that your run a power steering fluid cooler or heat sink on the return side which apparently helps prevent the lower seal leakage issue that a lot of these steering boxes eventually develop.



The cooler I Got from Summit for $29
