Anybody use "Ezsteer" P/S conversion from Ebay?
 

I am looking to replace the worn out steering box on my recently purchased '49 Ford Custom 2 door sedan. I tried to buy the kit that Borgenson sell but they are "Out of Stock" with no idea when they will be shipping them again. I searched again and found a Vendor on Ebay, Ezsteer", that is selling a kit that looks pretty complete and a "Bolt-On" replacement. Anybody here ever heard of or used them????

That box has a terrible reputation. A friend with a model A bought one. It was so bad took it out and rebuilt an original. Lost all his money.

Jim - Shoebox Central, talk with Chris, they rebuilt my 49,, and there was improvement.
Worm out steering links combined with the worn out box are not fun to drive.

Sorry, here is the link... https://www.ebay.com/itm/11566032765...sAAOSwWf9iZJg2

I appreciate everyone's comments about the "bad" MANUAL steering box some guy was selling but the one I am looking at is a COMPLETE Power Steering Replacement Kit

Thanks again for everyone's time!!

If that’s the same company I’d steer clear of them. If it’s just some new guy who picked that name out of a hat, boy he chose poorly. I’d still find another route.

The description says "Will not work with a flathead". If that's what is in it?

The ad states small block Ford or Chevy, the reason it won't work with a flathead.

Wasn't Easy Steer the brain child of John Kovar the original owner of The V8 Shop along with his wife Jenny? They split the sheets and she hooked up with Barry Lobeck and they ran the V8 Shop until his death. I remember John selling the Easy Steer boxes at the LARS and other shows. I had a friend who tried one in his 34 Ford and after a short time replaced it with a VW box. I think they were a death trap type part? None of his were power steering.
