[Short 3/4]

Hey Clay,
Just catching up on your build. Always a pleasure to see how your progress is going. I recently recommended this thread to a guy restoring a similar truck, as your research and the detailed documentation of your fine work is second to none.
I’m glad to see you decided to go with the stock manual steering. I’m always amazed how many think they “need” power steering, without actually driving the truck for awhile. With stockish sized radial truck tires (I’ve always used 235/85R-16’s) the steering gears are low enough and the steering wheel large enough that even around town and off road is usually not a problem. FWIW even my 66 year old wife occasionally drives mine with no complaints.
Keep up the good work. I’m really enjoying following along.
Tom
