YOU MIGHT GAIN SOMETHING BY GOING TO A 63 FORD STEERING BOX, YOU WILL STILL NEED TO ADD A RAG JOINT TO CONNECT IT TO YOUR ORIGINAL COLUMN. HOPE THIS HELPS TOM

A 58 0r a 59 box is a bolt in,all you need to do is convert the horn button to a 58 and later.58 up is a recirculating ball type steering ,instead of gears, which steers easier.This is what I have done to my ranchero. Campy ranchero57
