The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Riveted Steering Column Bracket Prone To Leaking?

I would take it to your radiator shop and have them boil it out to remove rust, varnish etc. then have them resolder around the steering column support and the choke rod support. After the solder job have them pressure test the tank for leaks, repair any leaks and the tank should be good for another 80 years. After your restoration is complete, get into the habit of NOT pulling on the steering wheel when you pull yourself into the drivers seat. Just my thoughts and experience.
