Randy, thank you so much for your reply to my post.the information you gave is very helpful to me..thanks.yes my car does have it's i beam axle which i prefer and intend on keeping.the car is still mostly all stock but i need an original 1938 car steering box. on Ebay i bought a pitman shaft and bushings,pitman shaft housing,pitman arm,steering wheel,steering column bushing from the filling station and a new draglink from an antique parts company,but i don't think it's the right one,i can't see how it can work. i bought these parts with the hope that i could rebuild a used box or be spare parts for a good box if i could find one. the search has been a little frustrating but i really enjoy the hobby....Ron.
