Re: What year did Ford go from a keyed steering shaft to spline shaft for steering wh
What we did. We wanted the original wheel, column, spark and throttle levers . So yes the F1-F100 is spline'd and the original is keyed. After the F1 box was in the column
slid down where it belongs, then with measurements F1 box removed and both shafts
cut. So now with a sleeve welded on the F1 shaft and the model A keyed stub it got all
welded up-but you need the sleeve for open hole thru shaft for horn wire. Also no regrets
cutting the Model A box it was total junk. Just wait till you now drive its like power steering. If you read the history, Henry refused paying royalty's buying Gemmer or
Ross steering boxes so they made their own....by the way this build has a 1935 V8 and
the column spark & throttle levers are just for looks..........sam
