'50 Ford Shoebox steering box is what I have. Will the steering/Pitman arm from a truck box fit and is it longer than the passenger car arm?
Yes. I tried the FatMan Volvo conversion and it didn’t fit my application. A longer steering arm is the easiest way but I would prefer not to...
You mean gain clearance by omitting the engine? I'd like the arm to be longer than stock anyhow.
I have a car with a 1950 Shoebox Ford Steering box. Are there any longer steering arms that might fit from another car or truck that use the same...

I’m most worried about the axles in a drag racing situation. Still debugging the car, not many road miles yet. Would like to try another dyno run...
Glad everyone likes it! The restoration has been a long time coming and the engine build is one of the highlights for me. A car has a number of...

Thanks! Took much longer than expected, but life often gets in the way of hobbies.
