If i hadn't just bought this 1946 Buick Super Wednesday i would buy that car right now sight unseen if those are today pics of it.

Goodluck! I just bought a 46 Super that has been converted to 1955 power steering and automatic steering column. My problem,the steering box is shot and i am looking for another that will fit the same right now.So,the OP is saying 52-55 is the same ps box? UPDATE: My power steering box was rebuildable after all!!!! Marty from powersteering . com in Nixa,Mo. found a LOCKNUT inside that had worked loose.Hardly any wear on it so it should be like new when i get it back. Guys,This fella averages rebuilding one of these 1st Gen G07 gearboxes a month! I went to his shop.He is clean and very organized.I am VERY glad i found this place.Sure seems to know his ssstuff.

Doing a complete front disc brake job on an old Pontiac.Had my ole shop sweepr 80yo neighbor came in to help me bleed the brakes.He's a big-o fella with paws the size of a grizzly bear and can barely hear. Ok,so here i am setting on my roller seat at the FR and asking Dean-O to pump'em up,then hold.Got thru bleeding air out and i hand spun the disc to see if it stopped when Dean hit the pedal. Ok one more time...I gave'er a good spin,except i hung on a little too long and got a couple fingers stuck up under the disc pads.Then i hear Dean holler..."Did you say pump-em"???? NO....NOOOOOOOO hell NO get OUT! So here he comes and see my fingers smashed in the caliper.He bends down and goes to grab the rotor and says,here i will help you.I had to fight him off one handed to keep his big paws off that rotor because i just KNEW he was going to give it a big YANK the wrong direction and drive two or three more up in there.To sum it up,I had a long flat screwdriver i jammed into the rotor fins and backed it off.THANK GOD he didn't smash that brake pedal.The fingers looked like they had been in a hamburger press,split open,but they healed up.

Dam buddy,this is my very first post but i have to be honest,I cracked up some reading this one but i am sooo glad you are ok now and careful.That would have had me shook up wanting to help you at the time.
