    Avoiding Bump Steer

    Bump steer is not necessarily a bad thing . Sometimes I don't know where I want to go and that helps me decide

    possible rat chassis?

    Right side steering - To be honest it would be a fun novelty . I drove street sweepers for years which are ,of course, right steer , you get used to it very quickly . Think of all the inquiries you'll get a shows ...and all the ******** lines you can make up

    Copper would be the best metal but you're going to poop your pants when you see what that size copper tubing costs these days . Blame the Chineses for outrageous metal prices

    Rear ends

    You didn't note what kind of horseponies that you're going to put in front but many of the older import trucks have pretty beefy and narrow rear ends . I have a Nissan under my roadster , it is perfect .

    Steering Gear Boxes

    I have a VW bus like donsrod suggested . The car isn't finished yet so I haven't driven it but several friends have used and loved them . They are fairly easy to come by . Also by using a typical punch chisel you can heat the end and drive the chisel in and it matches the taper for most rod ends

    Changing the length of the pitman arm changes the amount of force necessary to steer and the quickness of steering

    No rear suspension ratrod

    I used to drive street sweepers with no rear suspension . DO NOT DO THAT !!! You will REALLY regret it . And it can do weird things to the handling too . Trust me on this

    old filling stations

    When I was a teen in the 60's and living in Lancaster , Ca in the high desert we had a trailer at the River for water skiing . There was a gas station out in the middle of nowhere that we would stop at occasionally that had the glass pumps . My dad would let me do the pumping . Too fun !!
