Best Price on Air-O-Matic Power Steering?

[houdel]

Does anyone know of a place with a good price on Air-O-Matic Power Steering? APB at M35Products has it for $1800, I thought I saw it someplace for $1200-$1300 but I don't remember where.

He was the one who had them now the prices are up. Try Antelope Valley.

Yes the last run was $1,400 when I got mine. He said that there was going to be a price increse.

These steering kits have been discontinued by the mfr - so pices aren't likely to go down.

Very sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
David

put on hyd, cheaper and better

Not having hyd on my truck or ever driving a deuce with hyd I can't say. I know the air assist works good. I would say 60-70% better than manual. My 10 year old can drive the truck but takes a lot. It is a one hand or maybe a 2 hand turn job. I put Hyd on my M725. 100% better. One finger turning.
I know there has been several threads on hyd installs on the deuce. Is there a simple mod with easily to obtain parts?

I just got an air assist for $900.00 installed. Even came with an M109A3 attached

I have some shoulder issues. Normal everyday stuff is ok but long repetitive use or above my head and I hurt like h@@l the next day. Not young and bullet proof anymore. Gee I wish I was. I can actually drive my deuce around and it does not kill me. Makes it a lot more fun that way.

You have a valid excuse...I have two bad rotator cuffs...I understand...but for those who do not need it..you can almost buy another complete truck for the cost of accessories...donchano...I just got my Medicare Card...made another milestone..happy motoring.

The only time I wish mine had p/s was when it's time ot back any trailer up, but especially the 105.

The Army gives 88M's two guns to turn that wheel. I am thinking the Overson or Selectro hubs would be money better spent and ease turning as well. As Clint so aptly stated manouvering at a standstill is a workout but just think how the steering linkage feels.

Couuld also check with Maradyne in Cleveland OH. They are the Mfr. Used to be able to buy direct they had east and west sales reps.
