    They work better than they look. Several years ago I bought some 69 parts, including a Chocko rebuilt box, from a guy on another forum just cuz they were a good deal. About a year later I drove my brother's unrestored 69 SCJ for the first time. The steering and brakes were horrible. I gave him the rebuilt Chocko steering box for his 69. Several months later I drove it after he replaced the box and fixed the 4 wheel drum brakes. What a transformation. It steered and braked better than my 69. I then decided to get a rebuilt Chocko steering box.

    Bob. 69 Mach 1, 393W, SMOD Toploader, Armstrong  steering, factory AC.
