Got a call from Gene Russel and he told me I can ride thru parking lots and steer with one hand now, ohhhh boyyyy! I can't wait to get our bus back and try it out, after years of struggling with the factory installed Armstrong steering. (Remember this bus has a four speed on the column also so it is a real bear to drive.)

Gene sent this only photo, but it's a beaut. What workmanship. Just thought I would share with you all. The power steering box is from a Peterbilt Tractor and he had to use a belt driven pump in the rear.

To say we are excited is an understatement.

Thank you and thank Gene as well. You should have seen the big ugly clunker of a steering box that was in there.
