Quick Ratio Steering Box

Hey guys, I was doing some research and could not find a definite answer.

Will this agr box fit all C10s from 73-87? I remember reading something on how some boxes will only fit 80+. I have a 77 1/2 ton and am looking to upgrade the box soon.

If this one does not fit, does anyone have any recomendation on a box that would fit my application?

Thank you in advance.

The fittings may be different. Not sure when they switched to metric fittings.

Taken from a car craft writeup: In the '80 model year, GM also changed from its original 45-degree inverted flare 5/8x18 UF and 11/16x18 UNS female fitting sizes to a metric O-ring (often called Saginaw fittings) measuring 16x1.5 mm and 18x1.5 mm

Re: Quick Ratio Steering Box

Do they have a quick ratio early box?

Or do we have to change completely over to later model stuff?

Re: Quick Ratio Steering Box

AGR can build one. You can spec ratio and torsion bar diameter. Call them and talk with their tech guy.
