Does anyone rebuild steering boxes?
I have heard a lot of people say that they have a hard time getting the right replacement unit. So I wanted to have mine rebuilt, so I know I am not getting one that is different. Problem is I don't know where to start. I am close to getting the car back on the ground, and I want to get the box done so I can bolt everything else up. Thanks

Cant find anyone in the Bay area that rebuilds them?
Rebuilt units are available through most parts houses or you could step up to a Remy unit. Expect to spend some $$

For future reference if anyone does a search, I had my steering box rebuilt by Red Head Steering gears. They did an excellent job rebuilding it and accommodating to my needs. I wanted the same valve size for the same "road feel" and a polished top. The guy I talked to was very helpful answering all of the questions I had. My father also had a gearbox rebuilt by them, and it is in great condition.

I had the steering box on my Z28 rebuilt by Lee http://www.leepowersteering.com/ last October. I have nothing but good things to say about their work. The steering is tighter, more responsive, and has zero play.

ok, how about some prices? I found a brand new delco replacement for a reasonable price, and I might just go with that.
