Hot rods generally use the F1 steering box and a later 30s or pre 1948 column jacket. They lower the column due to the positioning of the F1 Gemmer II steering box sector shaft being above the steering shaft center line which changes the angle of the steering wheel as compared to the original model A column. Drop it a bit more and use a bit smaller steering wheel and it fits more to some individuals liking.
Most folks remove the bottom portion of the fuel tank skin just leaving the cowl. This allows use of a 1932 style dash with a later column drop attached to the bottom edge of the dash. It's more work to relocate the gas tank so some opt for an easier solution.

I am using one of Randy Gross" F100 units. A bolt in for a Model A and uses the original column jacket. A Banjo wheel will be on top.
