    Anyone know if a Vega, Corvair, or another pitman arm will fit on an F1 steering box?

    I think cj 5 jeep manual box steering arm will fit length is longer will be good if you have to bend up like pretzel to clear hairpins little on bulky side needs grinder work to look real nice

    The sector shaft in the F1 box is the same as they used in 37-48 p*** boxes. The p*** arms will fit but will be clocked wrong. You would need to cut out the blocking splines so it can be repositioned.
    PS,I have a bunch of them.

    Thanks. Yes, I'm having clearance problems with the bent Ford pitman I have and looking to see what my options may be...

    Lots of options, I had to make one for my T, I think I used the splined top from a 70's F100 and the bottom half of 40's p***enger one. You can also heat and bend them if the angle is the only issue.
