My steering box is worn out. Before I buy a new steering box does anyone know if there is a rack & pinion conversion kit available for my 1990 C1500 2 wheel drive ?

What makes you think your steering box is worn out? Slack? If so, have you replaced the rag joint? Dont make the same mistake as I did. I replaced my steering box after my wife would not shut the hell up about the loose steering. Im on my 4th box. The reman boxes are junk. All I needed to do, was to replace my rag joint. I figured it out after the 1st steering box didnt fix the issue.My steering box is worn out.

I did a quick search and came up with this, I'd contact them and see if they say it'll work.

Yes, my rag joint was worn. I did replace the shaft with a new GM unit. The new shaft came with a u-joint in place of the rag joint. I then found the new shaft unit had play in the top ball socket joint. I have installed a new borguson unit with u-joint on both ends. Much better but not perfect.What makes you think your steering box is worn out? Slack? If so, have you replaced the rag joint? Dont make the same mistake as I did.
