Red head steering box arrived today. I have nothing but good to say about Red Head Steering and their customer service and the quality of the part I purchased. Should be able to install this weekend, which is great. Now I can reinstall the steering column and steering wheel!!!!

One of these days I'll take the time to learn to rebuild one of these boxes, but for now....$241 well spent and with a warranty. And rcvd part within a few days of payment.

Note: They also will rebuild your box and use custom colors. I was fine with black and the red top which is their trademark colors.
