Re: Stayton Or Model A owners
My dad was in Lyons, but he passed in 2018. Was a member of Willamette A's.
He had a friend in the area that he used to go driving with, but I think he has also passed. I now have his coupe in SoCal.

Re: Best steering box for an A
If you're staying with the 4 cylinder, the F100 box is best. If you are going to a V8 flathead, then the F1 box works better for exhaust clearance.
