full hydro steering for street use

[hotrod]

You guys are right, i never really thought about the risk of a wreck, i was thinking more control issues. I wouldnt be able to live with myself either if i hit a family and even hurt them much less kill them. I do plan on driving this on the street so i would like a mechanical connection i suppose.

Most mixers, dump trucks or other heavy front axle load trucks have 2 steering boxes, one on each side. the driver side is run mechanicaly (with power steering of coarse) and the other runs off of the fluid going through the first box so they work together. some even have 2 boxes and a hydro assist ram.
