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.

You don't want to copy the rube goldberg pump setup the PO's mechanic cobbled together out of his scrap pile. Didn't we already do this a short time ago? Did you get the triangular shaped mount? What exactly are you needing?, it's much easier if you ask specific questions.
