I do appreciate "The Ride" of an older truck and plan to maintain it.

The opinions of others are considered but the Prius comment was way out of line and insulting.

Any other objective information is still appreciated.
I wouldn't bother unless I was converting the the vehicle to electric. Do a search on "Electric Variable Assist Power steering". You need something like a tone ring at minimum so you can get more assist in a parking lot and less assist on the highway. It's my understanding that new vehicles with electric assist take in a multitude of inputs. If you go through the install, it can work great, if and only if you give the the proper inputs for the system.
