Putting 10.50 x 15s on the front of the '64Dog turned parking into a nightmare. It actually is a good upper body workout and I like the way it looks.

Power steering is better, and if you run a Hydroboost power brake setup it runs that too. Going from 24:1 ratio to 16:1 or whatever means less flailing of the elbows on twisty roads.

I am trying to figure out a "modern" power steering retrofit for the Dog.

Gearbox is worn out? What's to wear out? the recirculating ball setup should run basically forever. There are a couple of bearings and a bushing or two, that's all there is. Steering slop can be mostly adjusted out. I've found more play in idler arms than in the box.
