Hi All!
I am in need of a new, rebuilt, or good used steering
box for my 68 2000 which has the A style box. Mine
has about 130k miles on it, is loose, and has a
significant straight line notch in it. I am leaning
toward keeping the car as original as possible as
opposed to going through the hassle of upgrading to
the better B box. I have looked into the price of
rebuild kits and it looks like about $600 plus just
for the parts!
I also have a line on some used ones.
My question:
Is there a definitive way to inspect and test a used
A style box for wear or centerline notch if the box is
already out of the car?
I am doing the 80/20 rule - trying to be practical and
getting 80% of the benefit with 20% of the cost:
Balancing the cost of doing it right, one time,
rebuilding with new parts...
vs.
Getting a really good used one...
What do you all think?
Thanks in advance for all your advice and expertise!!!
