what happens when you try and turn right? stops? how many turns on the wheel do you get from where it stops to all the way left?

im getting a full 3 turns outta the wheel like i should be.... 1 1/2 in each direction... takes a while for it to go left, doesnt go right at all.. steering box is probably junk

you can either cut off a section of the frame from another Chevy and weld it over your existiing, or Off-Road Design makes a nice plate to weld on.

Just making sure you know your options.  I would still brace the area up no matter what.
