F100 Steering Box
I would like to hear from people who are running a F100 Steering Box.
Have you had any problems with your F100 box? How long have you had it? Would you go back to original? How much play do you have in the Steering wheel? Thanks Ron |

Re: F100 Steering Box
I don't have one but I have only heard good things about them, particularly the ones from Randy Gross. I drove a friend's car that has one and there was effectively no play at all. It's not original equipment so it ain't for show cars, but I imagine most people like theirs.

Re: F100 Steering Box
Just finished installing one in my "30 town sedan.
LOVE it. Easy to install and works GREAT. No play in steering at ALL. Light switch and horn rod all work fine with it. NO I would not go back to original. I got mine from Randy Gross. Great guy to deal with and quick to answer any questions I had prior to and after buying. |

Re: F100 Steering Box
The F100 Steering box sound impressive with 1/16'' to zero play. I feel for show cars original is the way to go but with 3.5'' to 4'' of play on my seven tooth (After adjustment) is a safety issue. I have only had my car for month and have put on about 150 miles however I am yet to go over 35 to 40 due to the steering wheel play. My 29 has a new front end and was restored by the prior owner. I have sorted out a few things but the steering has been the only major concern......I need to do something to make it enjoyable and safe.

I used the whole F100 box and column including the self cancelling turn signals. I also have a power assist cylinder from a older Nash hooked to the pitman arm. It is out of sight behind the splash apron. |

Re: F100 Steering Box
The unit from Randy Gross is ready to bolt in. It replaces the original perfectly except that is head over heels better. If you have an old F100 unit you can ship it to him for modification and rebuilding. Randy 714 292 8660

Re: F100 Steering Box
If someone made a kit like this, I'd buy one in a "New York Minute"
