Just installed one of Mel and Randys F100 conversions in my 1929 four door, really makes it pleasure to drive, and Easy Job Best steering A I ever Drove
 
Here are a couple of shots of my Mel Gross F-100 boxes. He did a custom conversion for a '31 FIBERGLASS chopped sedan delivery. The other one is in my '29 CCPU using the stock column with the levers and without the pod at the bottom for lights and horn.

I have a friend with one of Dave Delume's F-100 steering boxes in his model A. He says it steers easy and smooth. I think he has lowered his price for his boxes recently. Contact him at 408-722- 2518--

I have one of Dave's steering boxes and love it!
 
Not trying to stir the pot but, what is involved to covert a F100 box. I'm thinking that other then the controls in the center the length and outside collar is the only difference?. I could shorten a F100 shaft and use a '28 collar if I wasn't going to use the throttle/spark controls.......is this correct?
 
If you buy one of the kits from Dave or Mel, it's just a bolt-in. Nothing else to do.
 
I have 2 F100 boxes, the column in my '28 is chrome and it has been set-up for a vega box. I would like to put an old style box back on but keep the stock column and it's going to see LOTS of miles so the F100 box would be great.
 
I believe besides the length, there also has to be a "wedge" machined so box sits correctly when bolted to the frame. Tardel's website might have some info.
