by PizzaChop Thu Apr 22, 2021 10:21 amHopefully will get some sort of a steering box mount fabricated in the next couple of days and determine exact coupler for lower shaft/rack input connection.
The new "Ford-in-a-Ford" lower control arms are definitely the ticket for me as the rack shift made a much easier path around the brake booster.
Very close to finishing this phase of the resto. Once satisfied everything is good, I plan drop the engine/trans, to roll it out, roll it into the shop, and remove all of this recently added stuff and start on body work.
If I primarily focus on the underside, there's a slim possibility I could have it rolling with new engine later this summer. We'll see....
Without steering rack boots, easy to see extensions
Here are some close ups of the Ford-in-Ford control arms (looking up)
