Has anyone see this steering box?

So I found this steering box online. I'm going to do a 4x4x2. But reading the description of this box it states it turns in the opposite direction from the factory. Is this true? And if so could this box be a direct bolt in without having to do the 4x4x2 conversion for only $325?

wowza. A swapped box available. Interesting wording. Saying it's a "direct fit" for a '79, but at least they clear that up later by saying it's for "custom applications only" and that it steers backwards.
Sounds like it should work.

But I'd also be willing to bet they don't have them in stock and need you to send in a core first.
By the way, do they list the core charge? At one point they were readily available still, but the core charges were in the $700 and up range!

So I just clicked ad to cart, it does say it is in stock and will ship tomorrow. There is a $250 core charge. But I have a core I could send back. I think I'm gonna jump on it. What is your opinion on quality of this? Would you trust it?

 

[DirtDonk]

I have literally no idea. But I have no reason to distrust it, or think that is of subpar quality either.
What website was it from again?

Hi,
When I bought my big box, I got if off a parts truck on ebay and had it shipped directly to West Texas Off Roads to be rebuild and reworked to turn in the correct direction for my 66. All in all it wasn't much more than your " .com box" and it was completely rebuilt by reliable specialists.
Good luck with your Bronco!
