I don't have much to add to this. But if and when you do this you need to check with local laws to see if they will allow your truck on the road. I might have some sort of info for you I need to dig it up.

EDIT : http://www.staceydavid.com/projects/sgtrock.html Might be some help. I know there is hydrolic steering.

I don't see much point it putting in the time, effort, or money for a full hydraulic steering set up for 35 inch tires, unless you are into come crazy rock climbing (which you're probably not with 35s)

Unless you're just trying to do something different. Then more power to you

you would have to find a cop that knows what he is looking at and really p*ss him or her off to give you a ticket.
I was pulled over in a 73 elcomino and the officer thought i swaped plates do to the plate were for a 73 1/2 ton truck.
