Since you had the GM type 2 pump and the ford rack, what fluid did you go with. The GM pump says power steering fluid but my
96-98 mustang rack says mercon ATF. I saw the 79-93 rack called for type F ATF.

Oh and BTW, your truck has been an inspiration for me. A long while back you helped me in PM with some exhaust questions because I want my exhaust to be though the running board like yours. I had to pull the exhaust for now but I did buy the flex joints you talked about and put them before my x pipe. Then I have a set of hangers at each Borla muffler. I will probably put in a much smaller flex at the hard mounted tip so the exhaust can move and the tip stay put. I figure this way I have more flex and room for expansion by the down pipes and then a little room for movement further back. As soon as I get it all reinstalled I will share a photo.
Good question about the power steering fluid. I have not gotten that far yet.. I will pick the brains of my friends that have a hot rod shop. I know they have build cars with MII racks and Type 2 pumps.
