Did a complete suspension swap on my 71 Vette. Still tying up loose ends and issues but was able to get it out yesterday morning for our local Caffeine & Octane cruise-in.

Very nice Eric. Does it have rack and pinion steering?

Sorry, wasn't paying attention. Thanks, it has been a frustrating journey with the C3. Other than the attention the Chevelle gets, I actually enjoy driving the C3 more.

No rack, it has a Borgeson Steering box and Ridetech frame brace.

I wonder if they have that same upgrade for the 63'-67' cars? My good friend has a 65' Vette Roadster, all upgraded Vette Brakes suspension, but the junk factory power steering set up. We're looking to do a rack, but I'd prefer to retain some sort of box.

I took a load of scrap from my truck and other crap around the shop, 580 lbs to be exact. Fetched me a whopping $29.

They definitely do. I haven't had any of the aftermarket rack setups but those who have say the Borgeson box feels just as nice and eliminates many of the fitment issues of something like Steeroids.
