My brother wants to swap his power box for manual steering. I am so happy. He is starting to get interested in ecomodding. He has to drive quite a bit to get to school, so he is looking for better mileage.

We were standing by my truck talking and he asked how the manual steering box fit, so I showed him. He asked how easy it was to steer, so I had him hop in and try it. "I can almost palm the steering wheel just sitting here!" was his response. I laughed and told him to drive it and see how he liked it. He LOVEd it and said it was just what he was looking for, so now he will be after a manual box.

I mentioned a belly pan and he seemed interested. I have a basic shell that he can use(since my bed is not fixable) and will provide whatever materials that I can.
