I 2nd the recommendation for Gary. GREAT work on my '71 steering box and differential (and I hear he does good trailing arms also)! Lots of pictures of the work he does are e-mailed to yoyu as the job(s) progress.

I have not used Gary but would not hesitate to trust his work.

Tom Lee built remanufactured a box many years ago for my Camaro. Leepowersteering.com Very nice work.

Lee advised me to revalve the steering effort on my Z/28 box. I should have listened to him. I would definately do it next time.

I used Gary and he did an excellent job. It's been more than three years ago and everything is still perfect.
