That's one bad ride. How did you paint the sign on the doors. I want to repaint the signs on the doors of my project but I want them to look old. HB

cowl steering

Which box did you use for your steering? any pics of box/ mounting? Thanks in advance.

heres a pic of the style box I used, it is a 66-79 ford pickup steering box.you will have to reverse the box to get it to turn the right direction but that is not really a big deal,I also had to make a new pitman arm.I will try to get some pics of the mount for you but the key to the mount is to make it stronger than you think it needs to be because ther is a lot of force on this type of setup.if there is any interest I can make a post up for tech tips forum or if reversing box scares anybody I can reverse boxes and make new pitman arms for a reasonable fee.jim
