1957 Ford Custom 2 Door

Return
 
September  27, 2008   Dash out & 1958 Steering Box converstion.
 

To make room for the big block, I swapped in a 1958 Ford Steering Box and column. The 58 box is smaller and a much better design.   Found a set of 428 CJ heads, so I'm hoping CJ exhaust manifolds will clear he '58 box.  Time will tell...

Here is the inside of the car with the dash removed. Everything is solid with no problems other than 51 years of dust and dirt.

 

The firewall is totally stripped now and ready for paint.
 

 

Here's the '58 manual shift steering box and column ready to go back in the car. I disassembled the entire column, cleaned and painted everything and reassembled it.
