Q&A

Q. A friend of mine needs a steering box for his 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe. We have only been able to find a steering box for a 1939 Standard model. Do you know if they are the same? Are there other models that have the same box? If not, do you know where we can buy a complete, rebuilt or NOS steering box for a ’39 Master Deluxe?

My first reaction was to pass this on Neenah, Wis. They were recommended by Marx Auto Parts and a VCCA member. Yes, most of the 1939 Master Deluxe parts also fit 1940-1948 cars, but not all. Also, the parts have become difficult to find.”
