Steering box

Has anyone looked at the F-100 (68 - 72) power box?  I am not in a position to do the check but it looks like it might do the job.......

Yes , The box is to long thru the pitman shaft and the pitman shaft spline is to large for the 57 pitman arm

Kent, speaking of the 605, I wonder if you could repost your 605 build that was posted on the old board?
Thanks,.......Sam

Sam,
I don't think that I have the pics or text for it anymore. I haven't made one in a few years .Sorry

Thanks dgasman, and the last one I have looked at that might do the job is the 65 - 66 Galaxie power box?  I'm looking at pictures and trying to figure bolt ins...suspect I am just covering old ground here....

Ford Blue Blood,
The closest factory ford PS box that can be made to bolt on is a 65 or 66 Tbird box. The problem with this is the pitman shaft splines . The Tbird shaft is 1 1/8 inch  and the 57 shaft is around 1 inch . You would have to have the Tbird shaft turned down and resplined or the 57 pitman arm re-broached for the larger spline. I still have my Tbird box in my Ranchwagon but I have a few other ideals for a PS box floating around in my head .

The 65, 66 galaxie box sticks way out from the frame, you need a box that the head of it, is up over the frame. I looked at the pickup truck box, but its just to massive. Weighs a ton. Mark
