Does anyone know if newer steering boxes are a direct swap? For the cost of a new or rebuilt box I could be most of the way into a crown vic swap. Just weighing my optionsI just Reread an earlier post. All the way through 79! Thanks guys Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Yes. I'm considering that as well. It needs a trans and steering box. And a windshield. So. It is just a matter of moneySent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Yeah. That's what I am learning. Looks like I may look into a crown vic swap. Not sure what to do at this point. For now I will just keep filling the fluidsSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Alright guys. I need a power steering box. I can't find one anywhere. Orielley's and the like say they can't get one. Any suggestions with out coughing up gobs and gobs of green backsSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

The trans is going to be rebuilt at some point. If I keep it fresh trans and new glass will happen. Tomorrow I will probably drive it and remember how much I love itSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Winter came and it has been driven much. When it's cold the trans is slipping some. Once it's warm it seems fine. I go back and forth between keeping it and selling it.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Been driving the truck for the past few days. Loving it. Runs good. Getting a fuel smell in the cab that needs to be addressed. Found out that the steering box is leaking. So I need to either rebuild that or replace. Stops and acceleration is good though. The full length headers to...

Thanks guys. I found a replacement master cylinder. 1980 f150 2wd was a direct replacement.I'm not sure what exactly is needed for ac. There is a complete unit under the dash. And the compressor has been repainted. There is no belt on it however. I am assuming I will need to update it...

Well after jumping through the hoops to get it tagged and titled it is done.First order of business is to figure out what parts were used when the disc brake conversion was done. I think the master is no good. I ordered a factory 71 master for power brakes and it's not right. The ports are...

So. Spent some time on the truck. Figured out how it was lowered. They cut a coil out of the front springs and removed some of the pack in the back.Took it for a little ride and it runs great. The brakes have some air in the lines. Need to bleed them some more. Power steering still needs...

The suspension is not compressed. You shouldn't be compressing the suspension when you are towing something on a trailer. By doing that you are waiting for the vehicles suspension to compress and the straps to loosen allowing the load to move on the trailer. I have four straps here creating...
