Technical STEERING BOX ?

when putting a flathead V8 in a model A .......... what is the easiest steering box to use ?? .. thanks .. steve

 

I used a 1953 Ford F-1 box. mounts easy and works.

 

I have a kens f-100 box , but afraid its to big . do you have pix of yours ? thanks .. steve

 

Is 1953 a one year only steering box or is there a year range of F-1 boxes that are the same?

 

The box that seems to work best in A-V8's is a 1948-1952 F1.

The 53-56 F100 boxes put the column up higher, which can interfere with the rear exhaust port.

48-52 F1 is the ticket

 

F1 boxes run from 1948 thru 1952. F100 boxes started the following year thru '56.

 

thanks for the info ......... steve

 

48-52. You'll be in tall cotton

 

thank you ............. steve

 

yes, most people use the F1 box like was said but I used a '57 chevy 1/2 ton box

 

^^^ yep. I like the F-100 box myself but they don't work well on an A V8 the F-1 box is the ticket.

 

i have the f-100 I think .. maybe the f-1

 

F 1 boxes are easy to come by and relatively inexpensive. I think I saw one today for a buck and a quarter or so.
