    How well would a steering box from a 1950 Ford 3/4 Ton truck work on a 1931 Chevy truck?

    Somebody knows something about these boxes...they look the same as an F1 steering box, are they bigger? More heavy duty? Any input needed.

    I have one in my 52 F-1, but I don't know much about them. Mine works okay, but has a little slop...maybe can tighten up the gearset. Pretty strong looking box, though.

    If the box is bigger than the F1, the space you have between the frame and motor and the steering arm location would be your only issue. Are you also running the steering column? Don't know if It's longer than the F1? If you need to compare, I have a F100 column.
