Why weld that smooth 3/4 rod. Why not another setscrew?? What about body&frame flex? What happens to the tight steering shafting,column, Vega box,in regards to stress points?
That's not a Vega steering box. I have had a few Chevy Monza's and I have 1 with manual steering and the Vega/Monza box dosen't have a sector shaft anywhere near that long.
It ended up being a Toyota steering box. The person that originally but this car used a Toyota box and a 5 speed Toyota Celica transmission behind the flathead. Lol kind of an odd combo.
Here we go... Every project has a different circumstance to make it work... unless you get a million dollars to refabricate the whole damn thing.. and redo that last 38 things you did.. keep up the good work on your hot rod man
Very nice fabrication very clean. I assume you used a piece angle iron to fabricate a mounting bracket for the Hiem joint
A piece of flat stock butted into the frame. Tig welded and then used bondo to blend before painting
Nice information
Thank you sir great video, great info
No problem
The box looks like an old mustang box. 68 to 70. I was considering the same box for my 31 build.
Wish I knew more about I.D. gear boxes but IDK but u got a clean lookin build goin on, little by little !
Thanks
Greetings for you from Iraq

Every application is different. This is what worked on this project.
Looks like a early Toyota pickup steering box.
Just found this video, do you have a link to the steering heim that you used, and also that dampener joint? I have to do the steering on my car soon.
I got everything from Speedway. Very helpful
How long is the steering column ?
Where did you get that column
That sure looks like you could have gone straight to the box with 2-U-joints and one rod..
If that was the case I would have.

@@toddclyne3493 I've heard that there's a toyota steering box I can adapt to my 51 Ford F1 but I haven't looked into it.

WELDING ANY STEERING PARTS, JOINTS .SHAFTS, UJS . IS NOT!!!!!!!!! A GOOD DEAL!!!!!!!!! NEVER WELD SEARING PARTS.
I respect your point but I disagree.
never say never....
