I've thought about this for a few days now. I have a 30 something International pickup steering setup. It will bolt up to the frame just in front of the firewall. I'll have to push a rod to a bracket on the left spindle (I hope I can go underneath the spindle instead of above it like a cowl steer). I also found a International Box truck in the salvage yard this weekend - It is right hand drive. I got the box and column from that too, but the shaft was bent just coming out of the box from the wreck. It could be straightened, but the bearings were rusted out also. Did score a sweet IH steering wheel and turn indicator from it though for $30. I'm generating plenty of steering boxes now, I'll get something to work. BTW, I was reading through your build the other day. I'm not planning on going suicide, but have the spring in the stock area under a crossmember set a little higher than stock. I'll plan on hanging the spring on a gusset on the bottom of the bone. The model A chassis will be replaced with a box steel replica also. I hope to figure out what I'm doing sometime.
I wore a camouflage T-shirt once. The response in the pub was "Oooh, it's a floating head!" .
