Ok,So I'm not an engineer!

It's settled. I will be putting a GM power steering box on the frame and cross steering. This is my first street rod and if this is the most expensive lesson I learn while building, I guess I'll be doing good. Took me quite a while "engineering" this in my mind and I really think I had it done safely (except that whole steers the wrong way thing) but I don't think I can do it right without starting over. Thanks to all the Hambers who had imput on this and I'm sure I'm not done with you yet!

For some reason the post I made last night just showed up. Oh well, now there's 2.

Well, I went and looked at your website the other day when this thread started and saw the car you are doing. That's really nice and a great concept to update that cool old car.
I'll throw this at you, why not a manual steering box like a Vega? with cross steer. Or even the original box?
The car is not heavy, and a power box is big, and then you need a pump hanging on the engine.

Are you keeping the old Chevy front axle?
