    Got a 40 ford truck sitting on homemade 2x3 rails, which steering setup should I use? It has the original front end, if that makes a difference. Pics or links to a thread about it would be great.

    Either fore-aft drag link steering OR original style cross-steering will work fine as long as you pay attention to all the details.

    I'm using a 53-56 f100 box, works perfect for me, I've got a 2x3 box frame as well and it fits perfect between the motor and frame.
