Title: saginaw box
Post by: SIDSERV on March 10, 2017, 11:12:54 PM: All,

I know I am asking a question that has been asked asked a bazillion times but here we go. So I am not a purist. I am putting saginaw steering in both of my jeeps. What is a good manual box to use? I know the Ross boxes are good but I am changing them. I keep seeing forums saying the 525 box is the way to go. How about a manual box out of an s10? I am going to scavenge the wrecking yards for boxes soon and I would like an idea what type of box from what vehicle I should look for. I will be mounting it outside of the grill. I am open to options on what to run. Sorry I am not a purist but I want the steering manual but something where when my kids are driving them when I am worm food they will have good safe steering. Thanks again for any ideas you can give me.

The manual box is a Saginaw 122 series with 24 / 1 ratio. Jeep part # 994509
This ultra slow ratio box is 6-1/2 turns lock to lock.

I have one available if your interested. $125
