RedHead Steering Gear | RH2850 | 1972-1977 Dodge D-Series

PART #2850 DPU. Fits most 1972 – 1977 Dodge D-Series (2wd) Pickups.  This gear is a 15:1 ratio and is stock. If you would like an 18:1, please order this gear – 2850 4T.  Please Note: Conditional core charges will apply to sale price. Upon return of the core, charges will be refunded. Shipping costs vary, please choose an option. Red-Head offers a porting option for those that are either already running a hydraulic assist steering, or plan to in the future. If you choose to make this upgrade to the box (from the drop down menu), your gear box will come with two pre-drilled and tapped ports with plugs. For clarification, hydraulic assist is NOT something your vehicle would have come from the factory with, rather it is an upgrade that adds a hydraulic ram to the steering linkage to aid in steering. Most vehicles do NOT have this option, thus if you are unsure if you have it, you probably do not.
