Funny you should ask that. Im doing that particular job on my 79 Ttop RIGHT NOW! I ran across an article in an OLD hotrod from the 80's and it states that the early 80's IROC/Transam PARTS will fit in our boxes....THEY'RE RIGHT! The only parts you have to use is the gear and the worm shaft. Afterall thy're both Saginaw boxes! AND IF YOUVE NEVER HAD A BOX APART BEFORE, PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU!!
This isn't something to tackle if you're unsure. Just make sure you're drag link, pitman arm, idler arm, and tie rod assemblies are in good shape, (I recommend the PST full kit ($239 P-S-T.com)) They weren't originally intended to move that effieciently! and if they're marginal, you'll know in a hurry!
And Damn am i gonna like the 1 3/4 turns L to L!!!
Later
Paul
