'67 Mustang with GM steering box?
Is this something to even consider? Tri-5 boxes look very similar in mounting, but have never had one of each to compare. I want power steering, but not the stock set up. Can a front steer box work on a rear steer car? I have seen alot of R&P set ups but it is a driver and my pockets are not that deep.

brian have you checked out www.randallsrack.com ? randy is a great guy and his rack isn't all that expensive. i'm sure it's a bit more than the tri-5 box but the tri-5 box is a custom piece as well. i plan on going with randy's rack on my car as well. his looks to be about the best engineered short of a tcp or rrs rack and about half the cost of those
Do you have a 69 or 70 stang? If so then check out www.69STANG.com

I know that have read something along these lines on the geek-net. Something like using a corvette (year ?) steering box in a Ford application. If I find the link I will post it.

What is the advantage of a chebbie box over the Ford unit? I put a blu-printed GW box in my 68 coupe....I have yet to drive the car so I can not comment on its performance.

Power assist is integrated. Much simpler than the nightmare Ford came up with. Originally Posted by kmcanally

Agreed. Nightmare is the nice way of putting it. I can not tell you how much s#$t I had to do to the power steering on my 66 coupe (my first car, R.I.P.). Originally Posted by brianj5600

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
