I thought I read something about that and checking up on it, I was right, I did. Good news, no dementia yet. But I saw an article in Hot Rod Magazine about adapting a Prius electric power steering system to an older analog car - a Mustang in this case. EPS has been around for over 15 years now and been the standard equipment in lots of cars. I bet adapting an existing system to an older vehicle is doable.

If you're flush with cash, Ididit offers EPS columns and in the video I saw from them talking about their product, they were talking specifically about truck projects.
