I bought a 71 C10 last Friday. The steering has a lot of slop, 3 inches or better. I tried to adjust it and noticed the pitman arm moves forward and aft before side to side. I am looking for a rebuild kit, but haven't found one yet. I don't want to buy a new box, because I plan on doing a engine swap and power steering conversion next year. The wife says all that has to wait until I am done with a house remodel and my degree. Any idea where to get a rebuild kit or decent used steer box?
