I thought about this too, when I was building my truck. I even
picked a R&P out of a Cheviot (sp) I think that would've worked,
it's short, turns the right way... However, I put a Toyota 4X4
power steering box in the original location. Now I'm kicking
myself for not putting in a IFS with R&P when I had the bare
frame. It steers easy but still rides like a truck.

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of
me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just
leave me the hell alone.
