I have my Borgeson power steering box installed but it requires I shorten my steering column. In 68 Ford changed to a collapsible column which made it a little harder to shorten, and I had just repainted and re-installed it so I managed to beat it up modifying it.

It has 3 collapsible sections and I removed 1.5" from the outside piece to start with, and I also removed the auto shift lever from the inside tube. I made two Delrin bushings to help center the inside tube, and the steering shaft, although the steering shaft bushing is mainly for aesthetics, and to keep stuff out of the tube.

I have to mount it in the Torino and see if my measurements are correct, if not I have to remove more. Trial and error.
