anyone up for a group redhead steering box buy?

I know that there was a group buy done earlier this year that i stupidly opted out of
from what i remember redhead wanted 4 people minimum to get a discounted price. which im hoping we could find.
Is there anyone out there interested in joining up? everyone who has installed these boxes has highly recommended them and our factory boxes are pretty bad.
I bought my truck with a bad box and it only had 130,000KM / 80,000 miles on it

I would love to!! But the funds won't be in until Dec 1st.

I'm in if the due date for money is after Dec 1st!
I plan on the Ex being garaged most of December anyway.

i have yet to even think of a due date and will need to contact redhead to gaurantee how many people are required and what the pricing will be. my hopes are the sooner the better, with winter coming and a wandering 8,000lb beast on narrow gravel backroads isnt the most enjoyable of conditions. i know my ex likes to give a little kick every now and then to one side and the wandering is only getting worse... YES i have checked out everything else on my front end.

Once you have more details you should also post in the 1999-2003 7.3L forum also or have a link to this thread somehow.

If I recall from the last time this was done...we would call in individually and the guys at RedHead will help determine which one is needed for our vehicle. We would just mention that we are part of the group buy from FTE.

oh! ok that is absolutely perfect, then i could include ANYONE who wants to upgrade to a redhead box not just our exact style of steering box! i can start trolling around for others in the other fte forums!

Not sure what one I have but I am also interested.
Redhead is only about 45Min away from me but a price
break is a good thing. What will the cost be ?

I'm potentially interested too, depending on discount amount, timing etc.
