Re: Steering box replacement (or rebuild)

i would say professionally that would all depend on your mechanical skills, tools, shop setup. i'd probably call around and get some written estimates if possible. this way you know what you're looking at somewhat as far as parts go. ive never really done one myself. I can remember back in my service writing days watching this being done. seems it wasn't a very easy task. word of mouth is a very good source. ask your buddies, family members as far as a reputable shop.

and that is precisely what I am doing. I came across several online articles covering step by step rebuilding steering box. Since steering is a safety related item I am some what hesitant to tackle it on my own first time out.

Does any one have experience swapping newer 80/90's box into pre 76 C truck??
