I have a 66 corvair front suspension I’m running under my 1940 chev. It has the stock steering box. I know I can reverse it with some work but can or has anyone ran just the factory box without reversing it? I’m trying to have the truck road worthy in 3ish months for Frankinmuth auto fest.
Why would you need to reverse it if you running the stock Corvair suspension. I have used one with a cross steer setup
Ok thank you. I was just curious if anyone has done it. Just trying to figure it out, or if there was any tips
As said above, why would you need to reverse it if you have the Corvair front suspension under the truck? I'd be interested in knowing why you thought that. Pictures might help us understand. Tips? Take it apart, clean it, check sector shaft bushing for wear, replace if necessary, put in new seals, adjust, lube and run it.
The multitude of "WHY" is because the only damned reason you reverse a Corvair box is to turn it into a side steer box with a drag link running for/aft to the steering arm on a tube or I beam front axle. There is no other reason to reverse one.
