Rebuilt a steering box?

I bought a "remanufactured" steering box from Borgeson (www.borgeson.com) and am really satisifed with it. Cost was about $365 shipped and it works really well. There was an article in the first Ford Builder magazine about how these boxes are put together and I was inmpressed by that because I have two locally-rebuilt boxes that are, to put it mildly, junk. Borgeson also offers a 3-year warranty and will pay $40 for your core.

The steering setups in these cars were originally sort of loose, but at the time all were about the same so it didn't make any difference. I believe we have all been spoiled by the feel of the steering systems in our modern cars. I remember reading roiad tests of cars back in the 60s and 70s and remarks were made about how much play there was in a particular car's steering wheel.

Damn, less than three turns from lock to lock??? That´s pretty good, I think that´s the way I´m going to go.
Thanks for the info Moneypit.

My dad has test driven it BEFORE and AFTER the steering upgrade and he said to him....it seemed too tight....I don't know if that's possible...but I figure it will probably loosen up a bit over time so that's not necessarily a bad thing.
