64 Cyclone steering

[SASSY]

Just wondering, The Cyclone was midyear intro 1964 as was the Mustang.
Did the Cyclone get the improved steering found on 65s?

[Lip Ripper]

I thought the only difference was a power box versus a manual box; power being 16:1.

Fred - best I've been able to tell, unless it was a '65 model year car, it had the 63.5/ 64 steering stuff.

Fred, Rocket is correct. 64 steering components in the 64 Cyclone. That's why a lot of 64 owners, including myself, put 65 steering linkage in their cars.

Peps

I was kinda hoping that there was a way I didn't have to say I used 65 stuff in my car but rather a 64 Cyclone upgrade,, guess not

Freddie is a lover not a fighter, I blush when I lie and the headlights are too old and lazy to stand up. Guess I'll have ignore the question by introducing a discussion on the electric power assist of the _ _ steering,,,

Fred if you use the better 65 steering you may as well install the better 65 front sheetmetal too!

I will have to agree the word "better" applies to the steering but that's where your statement starts to lose credibility.
Just looking at the front of these cars anyone in their right mind would know which one is proper styling choice!

I like the front sheet metal on the one with the crome bumper the best

Very true Pop! 65s were only improved in steering, brakes, electrical system, engine and power and most importantly in LOOKS!

Ok ok ok...all Comets are cool and beautiful. 65s are just cooler and er beautiful-er!
