steering boxes

I'am looking for a company that updates stock gm boxes to 3-1 or 2.5-1 any one have this done on their gs thanks

 

Here's one option for you:

Chip Woyner has been doing this for years. He does a lot of box rebuilds/updates for Oldsmobile people(has an ad over on 442.com classifieds). He can do a basic rebuild for approx $160 or a fast ratio conversion+rebuild for around $279 or so. Call him...excellent to deal with and pretty fast service.

Tell him Patton Glade from Austin, TX sent you :laugh: He uses USA made NEW parts in the boxes and he knows his stuff.

I sent the box off my 72 Stge 1 to him a couple months ago---car isn't back on the road yet so can't give you a report but I know others that have his boxes.

 

thanks i'll call him

 

I ordered a new one from Summit last winter. It makes my car feel totally different. It now responds instantly and I can feel the road through the wheel. I kept my original quick ratio GS box in case I want to go back stock in the future. Just another option to a rebuild.

 

thanks john what make is the box?

I have one made by AGR, Cheaper from Summit than AGR. Absolutely love it. Excellent road feel. JOE

 

Thanks Joe What ratio did you use? It bolted up fine ?

 

I ordered mine right from AGR. Didn't know Summit sold them for less. Talked to a tech rep. and told him how I wanted my car to feel. I want road feel. Got what I wanted. Another solution is a box from a 85 to 87 SS Monte Carlo or a GN Buick. This also will give you the same road feel. JOE And cheaper too.

 

Thanks Joe

 

Yep, AGR was the name. It bolted up on my car without a problem. Awesome box.
