My shat is broke down. My steering box is totally out, and I don't know who made it so I can swap it out. Any ideas?

its a saginaw box,if you can't find one at the wreckers check out www.agrsteering.com.also don't throw away your old one,as a core its worth about $180.

THAT looks like a 4 ear saginaw box.......there you go!

You can find one at Pick n Pull off nearly any old late 60's to late 70's GM car, just make sure you get one with 4 bolts, lots of them only have 3. The ones with only 3 bolt ears are missing the one closest to the front of the box (high pressure lines)

I knew you guys could help. Thanks!!!!
I wish I could turn it lock to lock, the damn thing turns around and the wheels don't move. Made for a hairy trip home the other day.

This baby is for sale. Once I get the new steering box on, it is on the market. What should it go for?

Chevy 350 with 20 K on it.
power steering, cruise control, stereo, over tires, buggy seats, 6 point roll cage, no heat or defrost.
How much?

the ever popular inverted bezel...hmmm steering goes out, cruiser smashed under overpass, what other tradgedy's have occured because of this occurance?

Too bad you don't live closer, I've got three of em sitting on my garage floor, along with a ton of other spare parts! They are not difficult to find, just look for an older chevy lead sled with a four bolt box that mount on the inside of the frame rail. Monte carlos, Impalas.....You can't get one off a truck, they bolt to the outside of the frame, won't work for your application.

might try tightening the alen bolt on top of
stearing box loosen nut tighten bolt.
