Just installed the Probuilt steering box in my wifes 1967, drives like new money. No more sloppy steering. Worth the money. Thanks Pete.
Pete, that steering box looks sweet!
Thanks brother, you need one for that Ghia!
I did learn something new today. I can't do everything on my old VW. More like, I shouldn't do everything. The steering gearbox is one of them.
Pete great video. The format showing product and explanation is the way to go.
Super cool. I have one. It’s amazing
Just beautiful!!!

very nice work on those steering boxes. is the bluing fully over the axles or just whats outside?
greetings from a UA-cam college
We have been bluing all the parts but are contemplating just doing the exposed parts for time and money savings.
Great video Pete, I especially liked the mini Tech tips 👍👍
I just installed the Airkewld steering box in my ‘65 vert , it’s like having power steering . Thank you

"cornhole grease" 😳
What video platform am I on again?!? 🤣

We send them internationally every week. No adjustment necessary and corn head grease is already in it.
thank you i order one today , cant wait to install it 😊
So, a customer send the original to have it refurbished?
No, but they can send it in as core. We do 20-30 at a time. We would be unable to keep track of specific client send in and be efficient.
What type of painting process do use (e-coat, powder coat)?
