The reman parts store units are a crap shoot as to quality. They only thing they do is clean them up and install new seals. The box itself could be worn out. Is there a reason why you don't want to get a completely rebuilt box from Firm Feel or Steer and Gear?
Firm Feel offers three different stages of "firmness". Cost.... The reason I'm looking for alternatives to FF/Steer n gear. As to why the Gran Fury box, just going through Rock Auto I know and Diplomats/Gran Fury's came with the cop box. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=31202&cc=1236989&jsn=396I'll get a look at the AutoZone boxes.

Well, I learned something today. There is an A-1 Cardone steering box with part number 276515 that appears to actually be the police box. It lists a 3.5 turns lock-to-lock and the others are 4 turns. P/N 276515 !?! Hefty core charge of $100. Plus E-berg says to stay away from remanufactured parts store boxes. Here's an NOS box: http://www.2040-parts.com/nos-firm-feel-...6-440-i1111837/Then Firm Feel or Steer N Gear. Makes that tubular K-frame with rack and pinion look better, doesn't it? R.

Cost.... The reason I'm looking for alternatives to FF/Steer n gear. If cost is a big concern and your existing box still "feels" fine, you can just buy the seals and install them yourself. That would be your cheapest option. Personally, I'd be worried about a parts store replacement box being worse then the one I was removing.
