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

Does anyone have pictures of the columns?

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.

I have a friend with one of Dave Delume's F-100 steering boxes in his model A. He says it steers easy and smooth. I think he has lowered his price for his boxes recently. Contact him at 408-722- 2518--

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

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?

[CarlG]

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

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.

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.

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.

[quickchange]

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,

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.
