1953 steering

Any thoughts on a low buck solution to the steering on a 53 convertible. So many cranks of the wheel to turn the darn thing. Is there a easily installed replacement steering box? What have others done?
 
The fewer number of turns on the wheel the more difficult it is to steer. If you are wanting "quicker" and easy steering you will need some type of power assist.
 
Understood. This thing has a steering wheel the size of a 55 gallon drum, lots of torque in the wheel alone. .
 
Yep, somewhat like steering a boat. If you go the power steering route I'm not familiar with what is the best setup for shoeboxes, some of the folks on here should be able to help.
 
Have you driven a 53 Roadmaster or Packard or Caddy lately ? You will be glad you
have a Ford LOL.
