I have a 57 ranchero with a bad steering box, I have a complete 58 box, column and steering wheel will this be a bolt in. Thanks, Jerry

It is a bolt in swap,Jerry.  Plus, you'll get the benefit of a better box, and its a bit more compact too.

The horn wiring will need to be modified if I remember correctly?

yeah, thats easy though.  The wiring for the horn is in the harness of the 58 column, and in the engine compartment on the 57.  It was made to run up thru the steering shaft on the 57s...
