Power steering box, this might be a good alternative

[SonicDonkey]

I found a box the other day that looks like a better fit than the F-150 2wd box commonly used. Here is the Pirate 4x4 link that I posted the other day with photos.

"a wierd variety of show trucks and wheelers. Only go there when I got time to waste."

this was in the thread link posted in the first post of this thread (by another pirate user not sonicdonkey) sounds like he likes our site%) i really like the scout box for the money because the only difference is the holes the physical box is the same

Dont we all waste a bunch of time on here ;D ;D ;D

I think that is one of the cool things about the site, there is a pretty wide range of Bronco fans from the original stockers and their preservation to the all out monster crawlers. Considering I kinda have one of each (well sorta) I really appreciate the wide range of input.

How much did you pick up the box for? Original EB boxes are not getting any cheaper, this might be a good alternative.

I wonder if the input/out direction is right? I wonder if my wife would kill me if I bought another steering gear when I just bought a scout box two days ago %)

I checked input and output and it is correct. Turn the input clockwise, pitman goes right and visaversa. Also its about 2.75 turns lock to lock. As for the price, the guys at the wrecker are friends and lent it to me to check out, havent found out how much for a box yet.

I see one major difference between the Scout box and this one. I realize the comparison was with the F150 box but the Scout one was mentioned above. The Scout box goes outside the frame instead of inside it. Pretty important difference when space is at a premium there.
