Re: corvair steering box

A Corvair steering box as cute as it is barely strong enough to stand up to a T bucket where they are used because they are easy to reverse and polished up they look nice.

They were built for cars that had an absolute max of 950 lbs on the front end in the Heaviest of all Corvairs and not a truck that has 1830 lbs on the front end.

The Toyota 4x4 trucks with that box have a front end weight similar to an AD truck.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
