Steering Gear Box

Anyone have any experience in purchasing a rebuilt power steering gear box from the PartsPlace? 71 442. Any other suppliers you would recommend?
Thanks,

They just buy other products at wholesale and sell to you, but any problems and you have to go through their non-exhistant customer service!
I'd go through Hemmings and find a manufacturer.

RJ,
Don't know if you're interested in this but have a look: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-SAGINAW-Q...-/120665184724

Says it will fit your car and it's quick ratio. Doubt it would take long to get to you. Apparently it also qualifies for free US shipping. If I was in your position I'd consider this gearbox; it has a one year unlimited mileage warranty too.

The jeep grand cherokee box is much quicker ratio and a bolt in replacement. Changed mine, went from an old school bus feel to a new sperts car. You will not believe the difference!!!!!!
Used box was $50, new rag joint, $50, hose $12.
