Power steering box
For the off season here in the Midwest I am planning on changing out my power steering box that has too much play in it for a new tighter close ratio one in my 72 blazer 4x4. What is the thing to do (type of box to get) and who do I buy one from?
Thanks!

Re: Power steering box
Several members have used Red Head boxes: http://www.redheadsteeringgears.com/
Wes at Classic Heartbeat carries these as well.

Re: Power steering box
Or look at powersteering dot com. He does nice work. I have seen a few members on here use his services. I got mine back. I looks awesome but my truck isn't back together yet to try it out.

Re: Power steering box
Would any of you recommend using a power steering box from LMC? That's where I was thinking of getting a replacement for my '70 from.

Re: Power steering box
I recently purchased a gear box from Rock auto dot com. Only 100 bucks after sending core back and came with rag joint. Easy install and instant cure.

Re: Power steering box
I put in an AGR Super Box 2 variable ratio steering box and it works great. It's pricey, but I don't plan on having to ever replace it. I got it from Summit.
