Well, tapped a bit and the ‘mast jacket’ slid off, now i have a box, with pitman arm and steering column ( mast) is this the way you send them off for rebuild? Reminder this a 1937 ford assembly that i am putting into a 36. Do i use the 36 column shaft and jacket or the 37? Also same question...
Glenn, mine still has the tube that slides over the shaft you show in your picture, i have removed the clamp bolt and clamp is loose. When i slide the tube up away from the box it moves about an inch and hit something, also the key turns with little resistance and the on/off toggle is stuck...
Well,i just got the 37 steering box with column attached for my 36 and wondered after loosening the clamp , (the steering wheel is off) the column is loose and slides up away from the box about an inch and then hits something inside the tube, can anyone tell me how to remove , i want to send...
Thanks for the reinforcement, i want to drive this car alot! And the old 3 speed even with the 3.78 rear that was installed in the 80’s just has the 221 ( which was bored 60 over) spinning too high for the driving i want to do..found a rebuilt T5 with .76 o/d that should be real nice

My original ****** id popping put of 2nd, rather than rebuild i want to install a T5 , which one is “The Way To Go” ? I would like the shifter to come up put of the floor as close to possible as the original.
Hey Fred, sorry can’t reach you thru pm i don’t have enough posts, i’ll take the 37 bracket and a bail I need more posts to post email, will handle that tonite and get back to you, Chuck in Richmond
