oh, is this from a car or a truck, oh a truck ok well its that much more
oh it still has a pitman arm on it so that's more for that
oh do you have a core to trade it, no, ok so its $10 bucks more for a core charge
ok, than there's some BS disposal fee

Core charge at a junk yard? That's a new one.
Disposal fee for what? The core you should have given them?
Greg, this is Sanity calling. Convert to manual steering? Do you have a 24" diameter steering wheel? Or Arnold's biceps? 
I went the opposite direction on my old 69 C10. Converting to PS was more bang-for-the-buck than any mod I did on that truck, just ahead of dual exhausts. And I did it all with junkyard parts. Only downside was my then 17 year old daughter decided she liked to drive it.
