The two 1954 steering boxes/columns that were rebuilt by Lares look and feel real good.

My only problem was when I bought a rebuilt "1954" truck box/column from them. Do not buy an earlier A-D box from them, 47-53 steering columns are different from 1954/55st steering columns. If you use Lares, call Rockauto and ask if you can send in your box/column.
