Default Re: Best genuine ford cross steer for model A?

It might not be possible to use a complete 37 up box and column. The A frame is pretty narrow and if you project a straight line back from the potential site of the box back to where the centre of the steering wheel wants to be I think you will find a cylinder head in the way. I'm not sure about it, I mention it so you can make some checks. If universal joints are required you've just stepped into street rod territory. I set up a 33 with 39 cross steer. It was very tight. The box had to be recessed into the frame a bit and I had to cut a scallop out of the steering column jacket where it passed the head. These were stock heads too. Most aluminium ones would have been worse.
You might need to keep looking for a f1 (or f100?) box. 37 Hudson or Nash boxes adapt well also.
