Power Steering

Post by 61stepside »

I put a Areostar front clip under my 61. It gave me power steering, ISF. dic brakes and quick turn steering. I don't weld so I had that done by a guy that does that to a lot of hotrods and it cost $2500. It was a deal because now my Slick is safe in traffic. I can drive it like I want a still stop when needed. It handles great. It is by far the best thing I have done to the truck.

Make it better that stock.

Shawn,
Yes, I still have the 223 engine in mine, It weighs 4000 lbs total,don't know the distribution. I keep it well lubed and have no trouble using it as a daily driver.

Pixs of my 61stepside

Post by 61stepside »

I don't have a web address that I store my pictures but If you want I can send you a few pixs regular email. It is kind of different because I put an '82 stepside bed on the back. Kind of makes it look like a Chebby but not...
