F1 steering in a 32

I have an F1 steering box in a 32. Stock frame. I cut the steering wheel end off and welded on an early end with the tapper and key. The slop in the steering is tolerable but I think I want an improvement.

I have been looking at rebuild parts and I have only found the worm gear mounted on a new shaft. That means cutting and welding again. I am assuming that this worm gears are removable so the question is do they sell the worm gear by itself.
 
The F100 box from the mid 50s is likely a better choice than the F1 set. It takes some special tooling and a pretty good press to change a worm gear. Parts are available.
 
An F1 steering box from NealinCA is the way to go. We currently have 3 installed and they steer beautifully.
They are installed in 32 Fords and fit like a glove using the original steering wheels and light switch etc.
The only worthwhile option for a driver 32 or a mild Hot Rod.

Please send me the phone number for NealinCA.
 
One BIG advantage of the F100 is you can have self cancelling turn signals. The switch assembly is built in the column.
 
The F100 steering also has the column on top which allows for a closer to stock column angle rather coming from the bottom like the F1 which places the column in a more vertical angle

How about a rubber wheel on the steering column signal unit to contact the steering wheel hub.
Thank you -
