thanks as always for any help and suggestions

Lars Mfg. can very likely rebuild your '50 steering sector for around $300 (not including shipping costs). You can look 'em up on line.

I have a 54 steering box which has the bearings instead of the bushings. I would like to adapt it to my 51 cvt have you had any luck

This can be done but the gear AND the mast jacket must be used + the signal switch cup. If you have an early 1950 it will help some what. If a late 1950 not much difference. What also made the 1953 steer easier was the larger steering wheel.
