Yeah, for me thats getting too far away from original. Everything is fine now. No sense complicating things. I drove it the past 2 days, everyday stuff. Its not as tight as my 58 but close. probably the difference between the truck and a panel/van feel. My 58 has a CPP box. Nascar driver Jeff Kendall drove that truck. He scared the .... out of me. Just an incredible driving and shifting truck. I can promise I would never drive it that way. WOW! These two have CPP steering boxes and IDIDIT columns. My third a (1958) will have an original steering column/box.
