I am currently thinking of using a steering gear from a ford f5 or f6. any thoughts? I know somewhere someone has done this before.

If you're going to use a different box i'd look for something more modern than an f6.

Food for thought... ~ Cosmo 1949 Chevy Half Ton Rocinante, like Don Quixote, he is awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.
