Yup, I know it's different, sorry for the confusion...ideally, I'd like to have the box the same color as the frame, but I figured since it couldn't be powdercoated without potentially damaging the internals, I'd be better off painting it.
Bear in mind, a lot of this is new to me, but I think what I'm understanding is that I can dis-assemble, powdercoat the casing, then replace the internals?
Yes, it is a used steering box, should I automatically have it rebuilt? Where can I get that done?
