Guys,

Does this work with only the Saginaw box, or with the Ford box also?
Has anyone swapped in a Saginaw box in place of a ford box in their ride? Do you need to change the pump, too, or is the Ford pump okay for the Saginaw box?
Does anyone know dimensions like # of splines on the steering box input shaft, the input shaft length, etc? If I swapped to a saginaw box, would I have to change other things like the steering column? :eek:
