seyser Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Can someone school me about power steering on the B models? Was it only available on the later model years? Was it a factory option or purely aftermarket?

41chevy Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 My 1961 B Mixer has air assist on it with MACK part numbers, do not know if it came from the factory or was dealer installed.

Maddog13407 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 there was different variations. by far the best was probably the Shepard power steering box. don't think that was available til at least after 1961. there was also air assist and there were some that had a hydraulic drag link and some that had a hydraulic drag link and a hydraulic cylinder on the tie rod. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41324-how-common-was-power-steering-on-a-b-model/#findComment-299768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
