Advance's deal on the standard steering would be $155 minus $40
discount plus $55 core.  Rockauto has the standard unit for $99.79
plus a $200(!) core.  They also have the ZQ8 steering box for $128.79
plus a $100 core, that would be my choice, although I'd want to
research what that upgrade entails. (Turns lock to lock, whether it's
a straight swap or requires different hoses, etc.).
