The new-to-me box is a manual unit.

I remember how the manual trucks steered when I was a lot boy for a Toyota dealership; as I recall the steering wheels were the same size. Steering was a little stiff at parking lot speeds, but nothing too bad and nowhere near as bad as the awful manual steering Hyundai Excel I used to have, or my dad's Chevy Citation. I think the ratio should be a bit slower for greater leverage, and already the truck isn't too bad with the power box unpowered. It should be okay.
