Steering Box Now that Lee is out of business and DSE at this time no longer carries them (I'm assuming their boxes were coming from Lee). What options are out there for steering boxes?
I saw this turn one....price is a little steep!

Any other suggestions? What is everybody else using now?
This is for a 1st gen Fbody.
Thanks!

Mid nineties Jeep Grand Cherokee is a popular unit,I believe they are same unit as the 3rd gen IROC 1964SS just posted.Also check Fleabay for used Sprint Cup boxes,I have bought a couple of the lightweight 600 series for late model circle track cars,every now and again one pops up for a good price.
The jeep boxes are fantastic for the a body swaps. The internal stops allow 43 degrees of rotation which matches up perfectly with the original boxes. I believe they would have too much rotation for an F body which is only 32 degrees so you might turn sharper, but you might also have interference elsewhere if turned sharper then it was designed to turn.

Lee was just up the street from me, had no idea he was planning to retire soon.
I'll look into 3rd Gen IROC box, I know the jeep box was meant more for the "A" bodies.
Might have to bite the bullet and get the turn one, assuming they're in stock...

The quicker constant ratio Saginaw 4-bolt box can be built with regular turning radius. The reduced radius was on the 16" wheel models.
If you have a good box needing service, I go through Benchwork Steering Systems.

The jeep, 3rd gen f-body and monte carlo ss box are all the same ratio, but the internal stops are different and the amount of effort to turn is different between them.
