Nice 3feathers, can you post some pics? I need to replace my leaky steering box as well, and the paint is original but didn't look that nice when I got it, buffed out at least 100 surface rust spots and power polished it top to bottom several times, a little (Lot) of elbow grease goes a long way!
I have a 1987 just like yours. you paint looks better ! Love my old girl, went from Florida to Maine last year. Did a little front end work (gear box), other than that everything works. Mine says Falcon 190 on it.
