Smile newbie here

Hi I am in Australia, just purchased/rescued a 1978 F100 Custom that is an ex ambulance,the old girl has heaps of rust in the doors drivers gaurd and floor pans, but good news it has a fibroglass body. A Clevland 302 and C4 box.
I am having trouble finding power steer box over here, but hopefully she will be back on the road in the next couple of weeks.
Cheers
David

That sounds like a cool project. It would be neat to see a couple of pictures. As far as the steering gear box goes, maybe you could find a rebuild kit and have a local shop rebuild it. Good luck with it and keep us updated.
