Darn. I was looking forward to this. I plan on replacing mine next spring along with a few other front end pieces.
Oh well....

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Who did the steering box rebuild?
Totally geeked out about that. Very well done.

I have used two reman boxes from Advance Auto. Usually pretty reasonable with the 25% off discount they're always running and I have had no issues with them.

I have a pile of junk steering boxes out back that I use for cores... I should try rebuilding one myself. Usually they just leak really bad.
