Default Re: Steering Box 7 tooth vs 2 Tooth vs F100

The steering box that came with my pickup (2-tooth) had 6-8 inches play in it. No amount of adjustment could get it out. Being "new" to the Model A world, I searched for options. 1) Rebuild my box, 2) The F100 box. 3) The new E-Z Steer box offered by John Kovar. I didn't do an adequate job of researching the plusses and minuses of each of these options, I fell for John Kovar's hype. I bought his box and installed it only to have it crap out only after a couple of months. Of course John's "lifetime guarantee" wasn't worth the paper it was written on. I then went to my second choice, the F100 conversion. It's been 10+ years now and I couldn't be happier with this unit.
