Are you sure it's in the gearbox itself? Normally (in my experience) a noise at full lock is coming froma hub, balljoint, or swaybar endlink.
When you say lock to lock, are you parked and cycling the wheel?

we listened to it coming from the steering box with these fancy new aligator clips and headphones...and yes sitting still turning the wheel ...i normally try and be moving when i turn the wheel as to not stress the steering period...but i can hear it once in a while..the rest of my front end is new so..

Is there a bunch of freeplay in the steering wheel to suggest the box needs adjusted?
Are you familiar with the adjustment screw on the top of the gearbox? You can always turn it in 1/4-1/2 a turn to see if it makes any difference.
