Power? If yes then Red-Head, not the typical rebuilt you get from the auto parts houses.

I put an AGR Super Box 2 on my 72 Blazer 4x4 and it is awesome. Its variable ratio and steering is one function I don't mind spending a bit more on.

I used a PS box from a 76 K20 it has about one less turn lock to lock and drives much better than the stock one. It's a direct bolt in and can be ordered from any parts store.
