I have no direct experience with those guys, but I'd be a little leary of using them. There's a lot more to rebuilding one of these boxes than sticking new races, bearing, seals, and bushings in there. I had Gary do mine and his service and workmanship is second to none. Check him out:

Send your steering box to Mike Dyer (tracdogg2) or Gary Ramadei (GTR1999). They do the best work.

I was wondering why ctk30 said I should start taking them in to rebuild. I'm building all my parts to Gary and Mike's specs, and I have a restoration thread running right now, so maybe it was a compliment?
