If you look in 605 boxes you will find they are a poor box to use.Ask any p/s rebilder about them.Also be very carefull whom you deal with! How about r/p?

hi just my .02 cents here. i have a 605 box I installed in my 59 chevy with an adapter plate and i have not had a single problem with it. I know from reading on here that grandpaws had a miserable experience with his 605 but that was a modified box so i believe there lie's the problem. GM HAS PROBABLY USED MILLIONS OF THESE BOXES OVER THE YEARS so they aren't that bad if left un modified

Howdy all, it is true that workmanship or lack of same makes the difference.
