Re: 50 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100

For your continuing entertainment. Pulled the old broken steering shaft and compared to the nice new one. Another fine job by the previously mentioned narcotic enhanced workers, If my new mechanic guy shows up tomorrow he hopefully will replace the box and i will have the all new steering system i thought i had already paid for. The steering box was bad right out of the box BTW. The new shaft is a Borgerson 0935 and looks like it will fit w/o cutting shaft. Bad news is i spent 2 hours filing/grinding column stub to get it to fit. Also the "D" shaft on these is harder than hell and ruined 3 bits drilling for retaining screw.
