    i got one from a guy that had been on a model A at one point. anyone use one in a current build ? cant ask the guy were i got it from since he has passed on.
    it has a short column that i think would be too short unless it was in a channeled car and uses the same pitman arm as a 61-64 F100. pitman arm looks like a F100 53-60 with a pinchbolt but has a smalller bore.

    I am going to be using a 65 econoline box on mine. just havent got to that point yet. BTW, it going to go into a 1923 REO and the econoline box seems like it was almost made for this application.
     
  3. Back when they were common in the salvage yards, a lot of people used them on T-buckets.
     
  4. Used one in a "T" in the late '60s, good box, worked great. Easy to find too, at that time.

    I've got one from a '65. I didn't use it for this build,I use a '54 F-1.
     
  6. Seems like the '65 Econoline is a gold mine for t-buckets. I have an Econoline brake master cylinder on mine. Reversed Corvair steering box, though.
