Hey Joe - I can testify to RedHead's quality as well. I know you're looking for something cheaper and local, but I got mine rebuilt about ~6months ago and man does my Marshmallow drive better [1-hand casual on the freeway!]
I live in Seattle, and a walk-in, next-day pickup was just over $200
My 2cents.

I recently got my hands on a spare steering box for free and decided to give this rebuild a shot. I already have it disassembled and the box, cover, and bolts are in for powder coating. Between Ron's blog and the post below, it seems pretty straight forward. The advantage you get from a shop like Redhead is that I think they machine the shaft a bit and put in larger bearings to tighten it back up.
