Redhead Steering group buy anyone?

Hey guys

Im looking at getting a redhead steering box for my 71 c10 very soon. Looks like if they get 5 people interested in a group buy, they will knock 20 bucks off the price. Right now, they are 256, but could be 236 if i found just 4 other people interested.

Let me know if you guys are interested in something like this.

thanks guys
jeff

Re: Redhead Steering group buy anyone?

no link, but heres their website...
http://redheadsteeringgears.reachloc...563&kw=5007907

i just called and asked if they had any discounts for clubs or anything and they told me about their group buy ... just 5 people total gets 20 bucks knocked off

I imagine that we would just collect the names here and then call redhead and tell them that we have X people interested and then each guy would just call and pay for his own....

let me know if youd be interested

Re: Redhead Steering group buy anyone?

Just an FYI I heard they are the best around. I have driven 4 different vehicles with red head boxes and was very impressed.

Re: Redhead Steering group buy anyone?

Turn ratio for our trucks are 14:1 or 16:1 as per availability at CPP or the equivalent.

Do they have any performance ratios? I don't even know what a good performance ratio would be but just asking.

Re: Redhead Steering group buy anyone?

They are the best. I've done a 65 manual and a power on a 64. I would highly recommend them.

Re: Redhead Steering group buy anyone?

I'd like to know what is needed to convert my strong arm to power steering. Is it possible with this box?
