This is fun to watch. In the early 70's we did a bunch of these with friends in the Jeep club. We bought the steering boves from a local chevy dealer for $7.50 each. They were take offs when the deal installed power units. Good content.
Yeah I enjoyed it. For a young guy you really have it together. OK , nownyou need a Plasm cutter, a milling machine and a Lathe. When I built Streetrods, oh about a 100 years ago, I used to make the shafts that were splined and Double D out of Polished Stainless. The use of one universal is the way to go to eliminate road vibrations in fact they sell a "U" Joint for that but you will hardly feel a difference. Nice work, YOU ARE THE MAN.
I also got rid of my Ross crap box, but I went the Astro van PS box route mounted behind the front cross member with a GM tilt column. What I wanted to mention is...the late 80's-early 90's little Cherokees have the same steering wheel spline as the GM column, have some very stylish wheels plus they say Jeep on the horn button! It looks really appropriate in an old CJ. Thought I'd mention it cuz it seems you like updated stock stuff over aftermarket.
@@SevenBarSalvage Those are called Saginaw steering columns (I've been told). But, yeah XJ, MJ, and any/all GM vehicles from 1978 to 2000ish. That's anything not FWD. Most parts are interchangeable. I once added a telescopic function off a early 90s Fleetwood into my 78 Cutlass. GM interchangeability is awesome.
Nice work!! Thanks for the ideas. Your step by step is great. On my '67 dauntless CJ I added the tilt column but decided on the Astro van PS conversion mounting the box just behind the radiator. It worked out awesome and it's hard to tell it's not factory with the hood closed. The lack of the boomerang under the radiator is a give away for a hard core Jeep guy, I guess. I like that it's farther back on a boxed section of the frame and has no flex on the frame horns up front. Anyway, keep the vids coming!!
Very nice built, you did a fantastic job.I also have a saginaw set up in my Willys jeep with a stainless steering column,mine is power steering. I have a 327 chevy with a 3 speed ford top loader transmission adapted to my dana 18 transfer case. My Willys jeep is a 1946 C J 2a mounted on a 1955 C J 5 frame with the 55 running gear. Dana 44 trac lock unit in the rear with a full floater axel. Dana 25 with disc brakes and a power trac unit. Hope to have disc brakes in the rear soon.
Wow -- keep up the good work (restoration AND publishing vids) I rarely subscribe and I am subscribing to yours for sure! Great explanations, sense of humor LOL, and everything you do makes sense.

Don't forget the bump stops if you are using them.. they will smash the hard lines between top of axle and bump stop. Working a 3b now and the front hard lines are smashed flat.
greta video!! looking to do this on on my 47 cj2a and looking for any detailed parts list if you have one. the steering box is the item I'm having the hardest time finding.
Love your videos. I don’t have an old Willy but love them. I’m planning on installing this column on my ‘71 Jeepster Commando. It already has a saginaw. Do you think I’d need to add the support for the single u joint or did you just do that because you had two u joints?
73 is when Jeep went to open knuckle axles I believe so any Dana front axle on a j truck or Wagoneer should have the correct knuckle! The 25/27/44 are interchange! Hope this helps!
There should be an Amazon link in the description under the video! If it doesn’t work email me at seven.bar.salvage@gmail.com and I’ll forward it to you!

This is really nice work. thanks for the video, and the great explanations. BTW; what size hole saw did you use to cut the cross member, and what diameter pipe did you cut and bend to fit? Thanks!
Thank you! I started out with a 2 inch but I opened it up more closer to 2.5-3. Pipe was 2 inch I think. It all depends on what joint you use and where it lands how much clearance you’ll need. Thank you for watching!
Hi, I want to add this box to my 50 Willys Pickup. I am thinking power steering or you think the box will be enough without power. Anything will be an improvement to the original Ross. Also you mentioned a single hole knuckle so how would you achieve this? Sandwich the knuckle between top and bottom Heim Joints? Thanks in advance.
You’d be surprised how well the manual steering boxes work, but power is always nice! There’s a tie rod with a hole made into it for your drag link. It’s probably more simple than what I did and the parts are easier to find!
@@SevenBarSalvage Yes there is a tie rod sold by Advanced Adapters called a "Y" tie rod that allows the use of a tie rod to the Pitman arm. I just don't want to do too much welding other than mounting the box itself. But I supposed nothing ventured nothing gained. Thanks for the advice I m thinking with the 33 inch tires perhaps I would need power but then again. I had a Scrambler with 35 and a manual box that worked fine.. You channel ROCKS. Thanks for taking the time to post these videos.
I just used a manual steering box for now. I have seen people ad power steering to these engines though. Maybe I’ll do a video on it in the future. Thank you for watching!
For the price you can’t beat it! That’s the whole reason I went with a tilt column and 14 inch steering wheel I’m a big guy and I want this to be as comfortable as I can make it!
I just bought a CJ3b with this already done, is the turning radius just terrible on these old gals? and can you adjust some of the slack out of these steering boxes like 99 etc F250
Full sized Jeeps like wagoneers and trucks had them until around 74 I think and international scouts also used them. The knuckles off a 25, 27, or 44 closed knuckle all interchange. I see them pop up on eBay sometimes or check out vintage jeeper.com he had some for sale the other day! Hope this helps!
I installed a after market steering wheel for the cj5 and when sit in the driver's seat its like the wheel is almost in my chest. Would going back to original seats give me more room 🤔.
The original column/steering wheel/seat combo doesn’t leave much room. I’ll be posting a video on the seat installation in the next few weeks. It will show everything I’m doing to create more room so I can actually fit in the Jeep haha
I've got myself an M38A1 with a Saginaw swap done by a previous owner, but I'm pretty sure it had the same steering setup as yours when stock. For some reason, there is almost ZERO clearance between my tie-rod and my leaf spring on the passenger side. Any idea what went wrong with their build, and how I could fix it?
Stock tie rods go under the knuckle. I think some people buy a tapered reamed and taper the top of the knuckle to flip the tie rod and give you more clearance. Because I drilled me knuckles out and used the heim joints I could bolt mine on top. Hope this helps!
I amwanting to put a GM tilt steering column in a 1950 Willys cj3a. I went to our local parts store and I found the steering box for a 1977 cj5. they could not find a steering shaft. where could I find one? I am trying to follow your conversion that I found on TH-cam. Also, is "Saginaw" simply just a side mount steering box??
The coupler and the shaft should by reproduction through omix ada. Some people grind down the shaft going into the factor steering box and just use double D u joints. That might be more cost effective and universal. Hope this helps!
@@SevenBarSalvage Thank you so much! Just got in my Saginaw steering box off of a 1977 CJ5. are you talking about shaft / DOM tubing, or is it a solid steel shaft? it looks like solid steel in your video, right? Also, could you send me part numbers that you used in your video. I'm trying to follow your video to the tee. Thank you in advance for your help!
Tommy, It’s solid 3/4” round steel shaft. I used the same on the Saginaw conversation on my ‘52 M38. I also used the steering column out of the same cj5. Just ground flats on either side works great.
The internet was kind of split on if a willys jeep needs power steering and I already had the manual boxes so I went with the manual. But with this system adapting a power steering setup should be easy so it could be a possible future upgrade!
Great job buddy. I have a 1941 Flatfender Willys that I have been restoring from the frame up sense 1993. L- 134 flat head completley rebuilt. I am trying to do the same steering conversion.

cant you find an original starring wheel . that piece of shit modern wheel , shame on you . thats my favorite jeep . . you can make anything fit anything.

When we put the Saginaw steering box on we used a half inch plate drilled and tapped for the steering box, then properly weld plate to frame.
There’s several variations to this conversion. I spent weeks researching old build threads before going this route. Thank you for watching!
Another Awesome Willy’s video!!!!
Thank you!
Nice job, especially like the tilt column.
Thank you! If you’re gonna replace the column you’ve gotta go tilt!
Don't forget the bump stops if you are using them.. they will smash the hard lines between top of axle and bump stop. Working a 3b now and the front hard lines are smashed flat.
I almost made that mistake, it’s been corrected. Easy mistake to make! Good eye thank you for the comment!
Doing the same thing to my 57' right now. Looks like we ordered the same column as well.
