Nothing better than when you can put paint to a refurbished piece. Nice job.

Re: GPW 86534 restoration.
Hi Rodrigo, very noce work as always!
Did you end up finding what was the difference between the two Ford steering boxes?
I'm looking for one for my late GPW and would be interested to know if there is a late/early thing!

Don't forget to put the anti-rattle springs on the OUTSIDE of each of the T/C levers before you finish! Not between them!
