I've got an early 55 that I converted to disc brakes on the front and went with the steering kit detailed in this article, http://www.classicperform.com/power2.htm

No complaints about the installation or the results afterwards. When I welded the triangular bracket onto my frame I added two trusses on the inside for added strength.

Check out OrrieG's build thread, he used a similar box, not the CPP kit, in his build. Interesting read!
