50-YEAR FAMILY JEWEL
There are lots of cool story threads woven into the history of this ’57 Thunderbird, purchased new 50 years ago by W.T. Romine of Indianapolis. You see, Romine’s young son, Paul, was bitten by the hot-rodding bug and tried to convince his dad to hop up the T-bird. The elder Romine steadfastly rebuffed his son’s attempts to bolt on a McCulloch blower and other aftermarket parts for the respected Y-block Ford.

AVALANCHE!
We wanted to not only show how easy it is to bring one of these sweet rides down to the ground, but also how great they look with this kit installed. The Belltech components are straightforward and do not require much more than simple hand tools to install, although an air impact wrench will make the disassembly and installation go much more quickly.

Myers Fenderless ’36 Takes the Trophy at the 75th Grand National Roadster Show
If you caught this machine in bare metal at the Rad Rides booth last year, you knew it was gonna be special. But now?

With the overwhelming popularity of Chevrolet’s C/K-10 series of trucks, many casual fans don’t know the difference between a C-10 and a K-10. For those who don’t, the “C” prefix designates a 2wd and the “K” prefix designates a 4wd. They may look the same and share many of the same parts, but many parts are not directly swappable. The Borgeson Street & Performance Quick Ratio Chevy K10 Power Steering Box is specifically built for the rugged underpinnings of the K-series 4×4 trucks.
Borgeson Universal now offers an all new modern quick ratio power steering box to replace the Saginaw/Delphi 800 series in 68-86 Chevy K10 trucks. This all new power steering box has a quick 12.7:1 ratio with firm modern steering feel. The Borgeson Street & Performance power steering box will bolt directly to the stock location and fit to the original power steering pitman arms. Trucks switching from manual steering will require a power steering pitman arm. Steering box includes adapters to be able to use either O-ring or flare style hose connections. This new Borgeson steering box uses a ¾”-30 spline input shaft and all pre-1977 trucks will require a new rag joint connector #990012.
All Borgeson power steering boxes are assembled and tested in the USA from globally sourced components and have a 3 year warranty. To learn more, go to Borgeson’s website or call 860-482-8283.
