    A friend gave me a 59 chevy truck steering column. Has anybody used one in a Model A? It looks like the pitman arm would point up from the frame instead of down like a f100 od f-1 box. If I use a ford box it looks like it will hit the split wishbone. Any thoughts and pics would be helpful. thanks.

    You'll need to be sure the box will turn the car right and left correctly with arm pointing up and that you can mount it where it will work and clear engine block/exhaust and the column ends up where it needs to be inside with steering wheel clearance and dash/thigh clearance.
