Power steering for a 51 Ford Deluxe convertible?

[Travler]

I swear Popeye is the only one that can make 3 point turns and do parallel parking with my very heavy 51 Ford deluxe convertible, so I took it to my mechanic and after several tries, returned it to me.

Sure could use some direction on if power steering can be in installed. Thanks in advance.

EPS is one option. The other would be to go the conventional route. Try a search on the HAMB site. You may find more info there. PM me if you want more detail on the Unisteer EPS system.

Keep in mind that any steering column mount electric power steering such as Unisteer would require the transmission shift mechanism be relocated to the floor or elsewhere.

Just a thought....a factory unit from a 53'.
