You are absolutely correct Ted. super bad bump steer. I was lookin at another thread (TRACK BUCKET) and he ued a Ranger steer box. The saginaw box i used will work if mounted down lower. But i have no other place to mount it.If i used a box with pitman arm on the bottom, my draglink will be at less of an angle.

Yea,,, I don't want to do that,,lol..What I was thinkin is, under my dash,put 2 piller blocks, one on each colonm with a gear on each colonm.. Mount the gears so they intertwine. When the steering wheel turns right it will reverswe the rotation of the other colonm.Any input will be GREATLY TAKEN TO HEART. I do not need any more close calls. But, for now I'm going to work on other stuff till I figure that out 100%. Keep Roddin!!!

I quess i should have called my 51 semi a hot rod instead of a rat. Which in my book it is a rat (home built with LOW BUCK parts) but i will be putting lots of chrome on it and a SHINEY paint job. It's a semi, i'm going to drive it alot (no trailor queen) so i want it to look good. Sorry i don't have as much money as alot of you do to call 1 800 send me. See ya.
