57 Ross box question.

A '57 should use the later style column and wheel, I'd be tempted to look into transplanting a Lark Saginaw box.

So- 57 the wheel and mast will bolt onto a later Lark box? If so, that changes my plans. I have a NOS Lark Saginaw box I picked up years ago, but it is less mast and pitman arm.

i *believe* so, but i don't remember how the Ross box runs the horn wire, make sure that it's compatible with the Saginaw. This is one of those things that I've assumed works based on a little parts book research and observation, and said "if I ever had an early sedan, this is what I would do" but never actually had an early sedan to play with

If you have the jacket, t/s housing, etc. out of the car I would dig out the Saginaw and test fit it and let us know. I am pretty sure you'll need a pitman arm to match the Saginaw box.

Too bad you are so far away. I have a low mileage Ross box, shaft and arm from my 60 taking up space in my garage. You could have it. I'd even buy your nos sag for a spare
