220b 1965 steering issue
well i have recently purchased a1965 220b, and am going through the list of major issues it has. first on my list seemsto be its steering. it does turn, but there is alot of looseness(not a real word i dont think) in the system, and its very unresponsive(feels like it might not turn at all)
im not sure if anybody has ideas on what parts to check out first, and in addition a good place to find parts for this old beast. its also a very tough start--i think this is actually a fuel pressure problem but more on that later thankjs for your help

Steering box
Make sure the Steering box is tighted to chassis. It is a common problem.
You will probaly need a nother person to turn the steering wheel while you check the Steering box for movement.

Yep, what Munich Taxi talks about is the securing bolts in the fender well. And extremely critical, common repair is sheet metal patch and brand new bolts. Ball joint tie rod ends can be another culprit. Easily available and cheap too for set of tie rods.
