Re: Stiff steering
If the steering system is all stock, then the first culprit would be the rubber bushing up at the top of the column. When old, they become more of brake than a bushing. The only non-stock steering item I recommend is the bearing system that is made by the guy in MN or WI. (Bushard?) It is superior to any thing else like the cheap ones or the later pickups. I have them on my '40 and my '32. Very easy steering. Get the good one.
No, being one year older has no effect. Multiply that by some large number and then, maybe so.
