steering box

[RPM]

I have a Corvair van box and it nothing at all like the Corviar box we use on these hot rods. It is a big ole ugly thing.

Yes, in theory a Corvan box should be ready to go. Remember there are different shaft lengths for the steering column too. In reality Greenbriar Vans from the mid 60s are probably not very common in salvage yards -

To make it easy, there is a brand new, not rebuilt, prereversed box you can buy thats like a Corvair box, but its engineered for Ts and things. I suppose for the one in a million guy thats redoing a corvair he would have change it back (fat chance) On my car it actually has aluminum reversed box and its probably seen better days. I don't have a picture of it, because its way up inside, but its like the one the picture, only the shaft coming out the other end.

Found it. Here's a picture of a reversed Vega box.

I'm also interested to know this. How much play should the steering in a T have?

I have a '67 Econoline box with the shaft . It doesn't look too big and bulky. It came with the front spindles.
