Steering box: replace ot rebuild
The steering box in my 72 seem to be leaking and has some play in it as well. So my question is should I replace it or rebuild it?? How hard are these to rebuild? Keep in my my truck is my weekend driver. Not a show truck by any means but I try to keep it safe. Thanks for the help

Re: Steering box: replace ot rebuild
Is it manual steering or power?

Re: Steering box: replace ot rebuild
This was the kit I used. I paid $58 for it about 6 months ago but it's still reasonable. Funny how prices fluctuate. This went up while the inner fenders I bought are now $25 cheaper

Re: Steering box: replace ot rebuild
Just a thought, generally every time I thought my steering box was bad it was something else worn out in the steering. When they are leaking it is usually on the input side and you can buy a reseal kit for $12 and do it on the truck in about an hour.
