Default Gary R rebuilding my steering box pics

Gary R is rebuilding the steering box on my 63
I had him do my 69 and was amazed at what he did with that one
and the documentation he provided.
Well he did it again on this one so with his permission have posted
his pictures on my build thread

If you have never seen this done before it is worth a skim
Here is the link to where his pics start, then skip over mine and then his resume to the end

Gary does great work. Wife gave me an early valentines present and said I could get my the rear suspension so I’m getting on the wait list for the trailing arms.

Gary has done my steering box and trailing arms.. His work is by far the best..
Might coast a little more but well worth it.. His shop is not that far from me so I
was able to watch him do my trailing arms.. UNBELIEVABLE.

as I stated there
A HUGE THANK YOU GARY for doing all this and educating us in the process.
I can't wait to get it back and ultimately drive the car with it in it.

Thanks for posting pics. Answer some questions. You were lucky not needing new gears/pitman arm. Probably expensive.
