F100 steering boxes in RHD don't exist, as far as I know. I've never heard of them and 2 tooth steering boxes are not easy to find, even rare so over here, almost everybody runs a 7 tooth. A properly rebuilt 7 tooth steering box is just fine. When I converted my Tudor to RHD, I put in a 7 tooth. There was NO play in the wheel when I did it but now, after about 15-20,000 miles, it has about 1-1 1/2" play and is still a pleasure to drive.
As far as I'm concerned, the only thing to consider would be how original do you want it to look.
