Converting a 97 Ram to manual steering?

Does anyone make a manual steering gear for a 2wd 97 Dodge Ram? These things steer really hard if you use the power gear without a pump.
Thank you,
Larry

I would ask Jeff Teuton were he got the one that was in his truck.

On the 72 to 93 Trucks....We look for Dodge stake bed 3500 at Pick a Part.
The boxes bolt right to our 150 race trucks and the column is the right length
with no modifications. It is cast iron and heavy unlike alum. pass units but it fits. Never checked on 94 - 01 truck but might be worth a try.
