Than out it goes. And I would bet they will have it sold
shortly after rebuilding it.
I guess maybe I am trying to change your attitude twords this hobby.
I am sorry as it ain't my place to try and do so.
Carry on Mate.

Had to double check, thought I was on hamb. Don't see where you feel I have a negative attitude about our hobby. I've been building cars and trucks for 40 years. All I asked was what MF pays for used steering boxes. I just feel that the box is worth more to me for a possible future build or a freind in need.

I was told last year by MF that they pay $30 IF they pay for the shipping and $40 if you paid for it. Things may have changed since then. Personally, I never sent mine in because I messed up the sector gear and that is the part (along with the box) is what they want. After doing the toyota conversion in a few trucks, I will never rebuild or run a stock gearbox ever again.

Thanks for the welcome Teardropty. I joined in on this thread due to the fact that Im getting ready to do the same change over. I bought a 54 F100 a few months ago, I have a 18 year old son that is getting interested in the hobby and this is a great way for us to spend time together. He really enjoys the truck but not the steering. Engine has been updated to a 302 with a c4. Every thing else is pretty much the way Ford built it. I've got a 67 Nova SS that is my toy.
