Steer me in the right direction.

I am at the point in my build where I have to decide on what type of steering I am going to use. I like cowl steering, but most buckets have the straight up style steering column. This is not my first choice, That vertical column is my least favorite style for that type of car. I am trying to stay with a 50s theme for this build. Is it an option to not have the steering box mounted under your feet? What type of steering would you use in a T bucket?
Thanks.

Cowl steering is good because it gives you moore foot room, and a better steering wheel position. I am using a 60s-70s mopar manual box; doesn't need to be reversed.

 

Thanks Richard.
I have been studying that tech thread.
