Flaming River Rack and Pinion. Any good? Will someone buy me this?

Hey guys I was just looking around for suspension upgrades and came across the Flaming River rack and pinion kit for the 73-87 chevys like ours.

Does anyone have one? Any one heard any reviews on them?

If someone would like to buy me one I'll try it out for everyone and let yall know how I like it. :lol:

Thanks guys!

I've got one that I'm adapting to fit my '66 C10 for a Custom Classic Trucks tech story. My '73 that's been showing up in Classic Trucks tech features is sitting right in front, and I'd sure like to drop one in there, but another editor beat me to the punch. I'll likely go with a CPP box in that truck.

As soon as I get the install done, I'll report back on how good it works.

I can tell you guys that the '73-87 FR R&P kit looks very easy to install.

I'll buy a mustang II kit before that or adapt a thunderbird rack.

Next week (may 23-27) we will be posting up install picts of our new rack and pinion kit as it goes in. StreetTrucks will also be covering the install for an upcoming article. We are having the owner of the truck do the install himself, with an "out of the box" kit. These kits will go onsale starting June 1. Stay tuned for updates. Thanks.
