Saginaw 3-Bolt Steering Box- Anyone Use???

Post by VintageIronFab »

Hello All,
Has anyone used the 3-bolt Delphi steering box that came in the later model Chevy Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade ?? Seems like a much more modern design and if the install is easy should be a great upgrade. Just thinking about using that on my F150 project.

Thanks,
Matt

Not bolt in. You have to redo some mounting holes and sleeve them.

I run a 4 bolt one off an early 80's Ford Econoline.

I guess I was thinking the holes are really close to fitting?
