Its a 53 Don, mainline ive been told, cant tell the difference between the mainline and the customline. She buys all the shoes and purses she wants Don jr, she makes more money than me!

Whip, you nailed it! she is most definatly a keeper! i tried to buy a reliable gas saving car and she said you are buying the hot rod! And too top that she is letting me go to Rio at the end of the month for Rock in rio flying down with the band slipknot.

Im not 100% on ruling gear box totally at this point cause i have not checked the front end yet, but from driving it tracks pretty straight and not much vibration out of the front! lots of play in steering wheel travel though. I heard a rumor a certain volvo box is damn near a perfect replacment, but have not researched this yet.

Thats nice..For the record,my wifes 55Customline had a 54 steering box in it,and because its worn out,and already been rebuilt once,its getting the big biff over the shoulder,and we are using an Aussie power steering box out of a 1987 Falcon..coupled up to a modified 63 Fairlane column and wheel..Our friend Redneck,on here,has done his wifes 55Ranchwagon,and its not a biggie..In case you are wondering,,you guys can get a rebuild kit,I believe,,but it is for a LHD box..so no good down here..Enjoy it..and if you need more grunt,we are using a mid 90s injected 302 and 4speed auto from an Aussie Falcon as well.Should go well..
