    Hi Glenn,

    I’d run across several jeeps with this upgrade, before I understood what it was. It seems to be most popular in the mountain west.

    Here’s the best explanation I’ve found (pulled from this page: http://cj3b.info/Tech/Upgrades.html)
    “Forget the power steering and get a 1949-1954 Hudson steering set up. You can swap out the whole steering column or just machine the steering box to fit your original steering column. They both used Ross steering boxes, but the Hudson used a tapered roller bearing with a different gear ratio, making it feel just like power steering and gives you the tighter turning radius.”

    Wow… this is very interesting. I have a couple Jeeps and I have also been a member of the Hudson club for years now. I never knew this…. cool!
