I love my manual steering box. Make sure you get the lower shaft and pittman arm and grommet

Yes!

Listen it’s not that I’m only hearing what I want to.

Why the Pittman and all? Different steering arm length?

Looks like I’m going out Wednesday to get parts. I hope the car is still there.

I’ll measure up all mine to be somewhat sure of fit

ALSO, I’ll still have the PS gear for re-installation.

so far I’m not dissuaded

I know wider is harder to turn with manual box, but the much wider Metris rubber has been great for driving about
The weedy 195/14 are not going to cut it for me

My tires will be a General Grabber ATX. Basically copies of the BFG KO AT tire. Keeping them sized so they’ll fit without cutting. But I like to go out and play on dirt roads and dry lakes. A little off-road traction and taller profile are where it’s at for me.

I will update if/when I get parts
