Saginaw Rebuild Kits Not Matching Up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

May70 · 04-27-2022, 05:32 PM

I have a saginaw 7802644 (NO L ON CASING), outboard mounted, 4 bolt hole, 32 spline pitman arm, 7/8" input shaft I need a rebuild kit for. Unknown model/year donor.

Edelmann told me 8523-8525. That was not correct for this box. It came with much smaller seals and bearing.

The seals and bearing off my input shaft:
IPC 5686526
IPC 5688229
Torrington DB47802

I think the bearing crosses to a INA SCE146 but have not confirmed. Timken stopped selling needle bearings and referenced KOYO. I got a number for eastern USA rep but have not called yet.

Leepowersteering has a nice write up on identifying your gear box. I called them and they could not help but they did say it is a very common problem because there were numerous versions within models that had different shaft diameters etc.

Parts craft was super helpful but the closest kit they have is THEIR kit number 7050 (which they cannot tell me what Edelman kit that matches to). They took the time to confirm that kit has matching input shaft seals, however strangely according to their records many of their kits do with drastically different bearing sizes. 7050 comes with a bearing ID of 0.882".

Can anyone help me out here? Ive read every thread I could find here.

Al I can say is that the Lares Corporation was extremely helpful last year when I decided to replace the box and pump on my 67 Burban. The PO had a mishmash of pieces from different years and cars. I would give them a call they may be able to identify yours to a year and model.

Good luck.

After a bunch of searching I came up with
2003 WORKHORSE P42
This is what looks like a box delivery van like Amazon uses.
try using this vin 5B4HP42P933363552 for parts lookup.
I have no idea if it correct or not.
New enough you could likely get part from the dealer?
Chevy Express Van, Suburban and Blazer
Or maybe try this J C Whitney:
