Check out American Classic Truck Parts. I bought a rebuilt box from there for $175 + $100 core charge. Got my box in 3 days I think!

They've gone up to $250 now and no mention of a core. Guess a phone calls in order. Thanks for the heads up!!

I took the box to a machine shop downtown Chicago that was recommended by a mechanic at work, rebuilt it for 225. The mechanic at the machine shop was very knowledgeable and did a good job. Came out nice, he resealed it and painted it and no more play in the steering. Maybe you can find a good local shops round you.
