Steering column

[Ford Blue blood]

If all is correct the angle is the same.  This is the 64 box/62 T-Bird column setup.

I was looking at pictures in the gallery and found several that had new steering boxes installed and it just appeared to me that the steering shaft went straight to the new box.  However, it was so close to the fire wall that I could not be sure.

By the way, these steering boxes are on eBay for less than Borgeson sells them for.  $578.55 w/free shipping.

If I use the '59-'61 turn signal switch, I assume that I will take the horn wire out of the back of the steering wheel assembly and then run that to the horn relay and the mechanical parts of the turn signal assembly will function just like they do with the '57 parts.

If the angle between the new steering box and the existing shaft is the same, I'd rather use the rag joint.

i used a coupler. one end is splined to the box.the other end is pined/welded to a 58/59 cut off column inner shaft[need one with no hole in the middle]look for my box install post for pictures.i used the 57 outer column tube modifyed to fit on to the box,this gave me room for the stock auto shift linkage.the 59 signal switch bolted up.you need to put in the 58/59 horn contact brush in the steering wheel and use the horn ring with the notch in it for the brush to contact
