You could email redhead and ask if you you can join a group buy for a different style box, I would imagine so I don't see why the box matters as long as they are getting sales!

 

Sent an email to redhead asking about other ratios. Hoping to get 15:1 or less.

 

Email from redhead.
VERY USEFUL INFO!

On this, it depends on what the application is.

Also, $326 exchange for 76-79 F-150 4x4 and 78-79 Broncos.
$286 exchange for the late 97-99 F-250s and F-350s with 32 splined output shafts---not with 36 spline.

Same for 68-75 Bronco with manual steering.

$246 exchange 68-74 Econoline Van with or without power steering. Same steering gear, different ratio.
$246 exchange 75-82 Econolines with Saginaw steering gears.

I think that pretty much covers the Ford trucks. Basically, we would do from
5-15 pieces --- $30 discounts on parts over $300 excluding the control valves. $20 discounts on gears under $300.
16-25 pieces --- $40 off on parts over $300 excluding the control valves. $30 discounts on gears under $300.
26-35 pieces ---- $50 off on parts over $300 excluding control valves. $40 on gears under $300.
36 pieces or more ---- $60 off on parts over $300 excluding control valves. $50 on gears under $300.

These discounts would be taken off the prices given above. Control Valves and Cylinders would count in the total number of pieces but would be discounted always at $20 off.

 

Another guy on the last thread asked and they said there is nothing they can do. You already have the fastest ratio available.

 

Count me in

 

Harvey just emailed me and mentioned there is no quicker option from 1980 and up for the 4x4 ford. I forgot to include in my original email that I have a 4x2. Heres hoping for the best!

Also after some research I found chevy makes a saginaw 15:1 box, also something about dodge making a 12:1 box!

I don't care what it takes, I will have a quicker ratio box! I hate having to turn the steering wheel a half a turn just to make a slight curve in the road.

 

12:1 in a big truck? Wow I would he worried about turning too sharp and losing control!
If you hate it now try driving an old tractor! Takes 3 turns just to start moving!

 

I am Interested.

 

I may be interested, investing a bunch of cash now, why not a bit more?

Great!! The more the merrier and the cheaper it gets! I hope this takes of even more.

 

if you are committing to this could you please say so! I'm having a hard time deciphering whether you being interested means your joining or that it just intrigues you? Thank you.
I will have to update the totals but we are either very close or past the next step of a $40 discount for $300+ / $30 discount for $300-

 

If we are waiting until the beginning of December then I should be in.
