I have a 1962 ford F-150. The original engine has beed replaced with a 289. But heres the problem. I have put three steering boxes in it it keeps takeing them out and I dont know why and I have ran out of places to get them for I live in the bonnies. Is there anyplace a guy can find parts for such a truck ? I want to restore it and finding parts can be hard like the crome and things. I have been thinking about putting the body on another chasse but I don't know what would work the best. I would love to make it into a 4*4. If someone knows what chasse would work the best let me know. Thanks Rick

Rick a couple of things, 1st if you have a 62 F150, and you can get documintation on the truck, get it because you have an extreemly rare bird there. That truck could be worth maybe $20 - 25000.00. I expect you are trying to put steering gears from later model trucks that are twin I-beam and have a different configuration, and could be causing your problem. A chassis through 72 could be a good choice for either 2X or 4X.

RTK 64-
you mentioned above that you needed a 62 grille- what state are you in? I saw one in a slavage yard from a distance today- don't know about condition, but it looked good from far off. It's in Arkansas. Let me know if you are interested and I'll go back, see what I can find out.

My steering box is mounted almost under the cab and its sterring rod that normally attacess to the box is all one peice right up to the steering wheel. Thanks I'll keep watching Rick If you find something out let me know
