85FC31 Steering column

[Gardner Yeaw]

JR,
When the power steering pully broke on my '78 on a winding back
road, I was very glad I had the old, big, steering wheel. I would
never have been able to control the coach with an 18 inch wheel. I
came very close to creating a new logging road in the local woodland.
Just my experience.
