I should rebuild the steering box in my 54 Ford (stock box). I understand Ford went to a recirculating ball type steering box in 1958. Has any one made a swap like this? Is the 58 box a bolt in (no mods). I assume that the 58 had the same type of column setup as the 54 (when everything is bolted together it's basically one piece (no joints) from the box to the steering wheel mount). Is this correct? With the 58 wheel in place (dished wheel?)is the height of the rim about the same as a stock 54? How did the horn wire run on the 58 - inside the tube like the 54?



Thanks for any help.
