Am part way into doing a 58 steering box into 57 conversion. I have the 58 box which has been checked out good. However, I don't have the 58 column assembly. I'm belatedly advised that there may be a problem with the Turn Signals if I don't also replace the 57 steering column. Yes or no? Also, could 58 Horn parts ( if I can find any?) be converted into the 57 column? It would be nice to avoid having to use a dash mounted horn button! I have the correct 58 horn ring contact piece, and I'm aware the horn wire has to be re routed, as the 58 steering wheel shaft is not hollow. But, before we start, any definite info appreciated..

   If you use the 57 column and the 58 wheel with the turn signal cancel parts from the 57 there is no reason that I can think of why the turn signals will not work . As to the horn problem I will let some one else answer, I believe someone had a home made thing to convert the horn do not remember if it was here or 57Fordsforever site many here are on both.

  I am still gathering parts to put a 64 box and a 67 T Bird column in my 57, may  be next winters project. Disc brakes and 3X2 setup was this year.
