Angry 53-55 power steering conversion

During the restoration of my 53, the steering column was crap, so I optioned for a new style tilt column. I got it quickly and had ordered a power steering box from CMW trucks. It's been over a month and a half and they keep telling me that CCP (their supplier) had told them the first week of April. I finally found out from CCP that they are now looking at May 30th. Anyone know a different vendor that supplies a conversion kit? Tired of waiting. Thanks for any help.

Go to the source. Classic Performance Parts, CPP, not CCP. That's the Chinese Communist Party.

They’re always running a sales, particularly on the respective box.

CPP is who I was referring to. I fat fingered it. They are the ones out of stock

I purchased a rack and pinion setup from Performance Online when I went to power steering. Maybe give them a call and see if they have the pump you need in stock......

Go figure, CPP emailed me Tuesday that my parts were on back order and was due in on May 30th. I got another Email yesterday from UPS saying it was shipped. I received my package today at 5pm.
I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I just wanted to let you know that it may be an indication that yours may be on the way. I hope so.
Cheers, Rick
