Caravan manual rack

[shackwrrr]

Has anyone run a manual caravan rack? I was looking at running a 1984 rack in my 89 and deleting all the power steering stuff. Van isn't my daily driver and I don't do a lot of parking lot stuff so because race van I want to swap it over.

On the van version of the manual rack, does the spline count change like the car versions?

Any difference between 84 and 89 or say a 95(dual pivot) k frame rack mounting points?

Anyone know the ratio of the manual rack?

I think I saw mention of a different mounting bracket needed for the manual rack... Any input on this?

If its like other Dodges, the coupler from the steering column to the rack must be for a manual also.

Yes, the coupler is different. I've pulled/sold 2 of these over the years. Both from VERY early Ram Vans (CV's...NO options).

The mounting points are the same, but the bolt size is different. The older ones are smaller bolts, so if you got to install a manual rack on a later K-frame, you will have to drill the mounting holes out on the rack and the rack mount.
