Re: F100 Steering
 

Mel Gross does a nice job on the F100 conversions. I have one in the sedan and it works quite well.

Re: F100 Steering
 

Are these different from an E-Z steer or is it the samething??

Re: F100 Steering
 

Who is Mel and Randy for us younger folk?

Different, EZ steer has nothing good said about it.

Does anyone have pictures of the columns?

Re: F100 Steering
 

Here are a couple of shots of my Mel Gross F-100 boxes. He did a custom conversion for a '31 FIBERGLASS chopped sedan delivery. The other one is in my '29 CCPU using the stock column with the levers and without the pod at the bottom for lights and horn.

Re: F100 Steering
 

I have one of Dave's steering boxes and love it!

Re: F100 Steering
 

Not trying to stir the pot but, what is involved to covert a F100 box. I'm thinking that other then the controls in the center the length and outside collar is the only difference?. I could shorten a F100 shaft and use a '28 collar if I wasn't going to use the throttle/spark controls.......is this correct?

Re: F100 Steering
 

If you buy one of the kits from Dave or Mel, it's just a bolt-in. Nothing else to do.

Re: F100 Steering
 

I have 2 F100 boxes, the column in my '28 is chrome and it has been set-up for a vega box. I would like to put an old style box back on but keep the stock column and it's going to see LOTS of miles so the F100 box would be great.

Re: F100 Steering
 

I believe besides the length, there also has to be a "wedge" machined so box sits correctly when bolted to the frame. Tardel's website might have some info.

Re: F100 Steering
 

no wedge, used with my boxes

Re: F100 Steering
 

I have 2 of Mels boxes , Bolt in , no problems , This Dave fellow mentioned ??? Bought a quickchange off me many years ago,, He claimed it was faulty so i replaced it free of charge , He then sold the 1st unit & never payed , I will catch up with him one day, SO BUYER BEWARE OFF HIM< Why would you bother when Mel suuplies them.

Re: F100 Steering
 

So WHO is this MISS Victoria ??How does one find them If they don,t list their name or where they are in their profile ?? Looks Fishey to me,

Re: F100 Steering
 

I think A post or two above lists Dave's phone number. Call him, he does quality work. I have one od his steering boxes and a battery box with master cylinder attached. Everything works great.

Re: F100 Steering
 

Jim & others who have mailed me direct on above , Thankyou , i missed his phone number, I beleive a vist is in order on our next trip, He could of course mail me here and offer too settle up.

Re: F100 Steering
 

Update, Dave has offered to return the goods, after all these years, Good news, I have asked him to send too a friends place for me too collect, Once it is there i am happy too post here a retraction on above, Derek from a hot sunny NZ.
