I don't think have room for cross steering,what else are you guys running in your model A roadster for steering and steering column.Stock frame small block chevy hurst mounts,,buggy spring Thanks guys
F-100 box and cut down column from 54 1/2 ton truck. Box is a bit large but with tons of measurements and "tuned up" mounting flange, it works great
My Model A uses a F100 box from '56 mounted in original location, side steer. Shaft is cut off at top and a Studebaker stub is welded on with a heavy wall tube inside as reinforcement. Stub is, of course, for adapting the chosen steering wheel and to get the column to a proper length. The '56 Ford PU box was commonly used in the '60s for Model A hot rods. I have a Gemmer cross steering box from a '39 Packard that I am considering for my next Model A build, using a deeper deuce frame rail. I am uncertain of the clearance issues at this time, but suspect it should be similar to that of using '40ish Ford cross steering, as has been successfully used by others. Motor will be an early 392 hemi, but exhaust will be over the rails, eliminating that source of clearance issues.
Vega, cross steer, Speedway simple column with removable steering wheel. Makes it harder to steal at motel with wheel in my room.
Land Rover box and column in side steer. You'll need a RHD one to get LHD. Neat in finned aluminium and cheap as chips to rebuild. Can be used with the banjo wheel from virtually any old British car e.g. Morris Minor.
Used A 66 Mustang box and column. This was some 30 yrs ago. Bought a pitman arm from total performance at the time but i'm sure they are available.
'68 Mustang box- sorry pics kinda suck- box was $125.- nice and tight Pitman arm has to be cut and the top reversed ( so it bends out instead of in). It's a tapered and keyed spline so that's the only way to make the stock arm work. I angled the shit out of the cut, and had a certified welder finish it after I fitted and tacked it.
Rebuilt RHD standard steering box with a few custom mods It's all Model A to the end of the drag link and all F1 Ford from then on. No aftermarket parts
Early mustang - but get the 67 and later with 1-1/4" sector, not the earlier 1" sector, because you can get a wider variety of aftermarket pitman arms. Don't ask me how I know. Also, make your own column, get some Borgeson joints - I recommend the 3/4" double D on both ends for simplicity - and rob a few Ford steering columns and wheels, then get that chop saw out and make it fit. I even made my own tilt column, and I don't have a mill or anything else in precision machinery.
