Total material cost about $500 and 24 hours of time to design, fab and install the system. Price includes Prius EPS motor, GM tilt column and misc U joints etc to install. Mostly found deals on FB marketplace and eBay to keep this affordable.

Just came across your video and think it’s great. It would be way rad if one could find a way to hide the EPS inside the firewall for a super clean install. Great job on the video and the rad f100!
Thanks! It’s so bulky. I’ve debated painting it all black so it blends in more. Currently installed not too bad under the brake booster. I think it’s better then inside the cab for sure
I am working on the same project , Do I need any fuse in black ignition wire ? And can I get 12v directly from the battery ? What size fuse amp and wire rating ?
Yes to be safe always use a fuse! I used a 14-16gauge wire with a 10amp fuse I believe for my switched ignition wire. For the main positive supply to the unit I used 8awg wire and a 50amp fuse. Wired right to the battery.
On the initial motor, Did you beat the sleeve off that holds the tilt or did you have to cut it?
If I remember correctly I think I carefully cut it and then beat it off. Honestly I cut so much of the ends off I can’t recall now. It does come off. I think cutting it was easier if memory serves me right
@@Cut.Weld.Repeat I’m trying to stuff one into a 280z and it’s not going well. Hopefully this works.
@@chrishardy6471 I looked back.. between 5-6min mark.. I noted that i cut it off. The larger tube has space you can carefully cut it away exposing the main splined gear. In the end I cut that off as well and made a double D out of it to hook up to a universal joint and to my steering column. Good luck with it! Will be really cool. I was driving the F100 today and love the power steering upgrade. Totally worth it!
Nice work! Did you mount the EPS under the dash?
Yes, EPS unit is right under the dash so I could use stock length cables and connectors
Very nice sir
Thank you!
So is there a center on these?? Being electric.
Not that I’m aware of. I even pulled it apart to look at the internal gears. It seems it could turn 360. My trucks steering is the binding point.
@Cut.Weld.Repeat awesome! Just got mine have not had a chance to hook it up yet to see.
@@lukecullett9044 good luck with it!!
@@Cut.Weld.Repeat you already did the work! I just need to follow!
You get these to point of reproducing this .?
No, just made a one off for myself. Not producing kits at this time
Why would you or do you want electric power steering on a classic old school simple, uncomplicated, user friendly truck. If you want all the modern amendities of a modern vehicle then buy a modern vehicle.....
Because I enjoy driving a hot rod but like modern convenience and safety features
@@Cut.Weld.Repeat don't understand the thinking but it's your truck
