k looking at the power steering on my truck a 67 c 20 i have a ram assist style power steering on it and i just got quoted like $30 for a new ram and now i am wondering if i can use these parts on my jeep for ram assist  the ram has about 8" of travel and is off the shelf at the local parts storeand they can make me any  hydraulic line i want as long as i can get fittings which is not a problem caue they take factory chevy ps fittings

this thread has some picks of the ram and the steering set up

i can modify my tie rod to accept the tre with the hole in it for the drag link the ( part number es2233l)  and weld a plate to the axle for the stud end for a solid mount  and drill and tap the stock steering  for the ram controls

so what are your opinions on it working

i will see what pirate says i have not found any one else trying it

Flex:
sounds like a good plan i know ppl tap there stock box all the time. Just find a good way to mount ur ram and you should be all set.

i will mount the ram on the tie rod using the bottom tre pictured here


and to a plate on the axle like a stock steering stabilizer
here is the ram


so i need to know will that ram have enough power to do any good as a ram assit ram i gues for a judge i could use my truck cause it ain't hooked up yet cause i am waiting on fittings for it if i go from hand over hand to two finger i guess it will work

After i ran some calculations on mass flow rate i relized the in let and oulet will be to small and this will not work i need atleast 3/8" and i only got 1/8" lines
