Sportsman Steering Box 8:1 13/16 x 36 3 Bolt

The SWEET Sportsman Steering Box 8:1 13/16 x 36 3 Bolt is a precision manual steering gearbox designed for street rods, vintage race cars, and classic vehicle restorations where responsive steering feel and reliable control are essential. This 3-bolt mounting configuration provides the predictable feedback and mechanical advantage that enthusiasts seek when retrofitting older chassis or building custom hot rods.

The 8:1 steering ratio offers a balanced steering experience, allowing for quick response while maintaining control during extended highway runs. SWEET's Sportsman series combines cast-iron durability with tight tolerances to minimize play and wandering. The 13/16-inch input shaft and 36-inch pitman arm length are standard dimensions that integrate well with typical hot rod and restoration linkage packages, while the three-bolt flange simplifies mounting to most fabricated steering columns and U-joint assemblies.

This steering box is ideal for builders looking to enhance the performance of classic vehicles, particularly those from the mid-20th century. Its lightweight design at 28.5 pounds ensures it won't add unnecessary weight to performance-sensitive builds, while its robust construction provides the structural integrity needed for sustained performance driving.
