saginaw box
« 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 Saginaw boxes that I have were used on 1972-1979 CJ's.
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
