1966 Manual Steering Box Rebuild Kit

[MDSD]

Anyone have a recommendation on where to find a good rebuild kit? I’d like to take a stab at doing it myself before having to buy a refurbished box. Thanks all.

Try the local napa. If they cant get it they might know where you can. Jbg might be another option.

Following.
The box in my 66 is pretty shot.
Wouldn't mind tearing into it to see if it can be fixed.
$400 for a rebuilt manual box seems steep.

You could put power steering in for $400

It’s a 1966 U13. I feel like putting power steering in would be sacrilegious

I've got a box out of a '67 sitting here collecting dust if you need parts.

Not sure how many miles it had when pulled.

I’d definitely be interested in using the box you have collecting dust. Between the two I’m sure I can build it solid. I’m going to give the guys at Tom’s a call in the am to see if they have anything in the form of a kit but if not I’ll be in touch.

Thanks,

Looking good! My U13 is in the body and paint shop now. Can't wait to get it home? What paint/code did you use on the dash?

Thanks, Rex

Rex,

I got the paint from TCP global. The paint chip doesn't exist anymore but they have some secret squirrel way of getting it.

Okie - I tried the 32549 Bronco Grey Poly and it came out metallic with a green tint. PPG told me that they couldn't pull the code anymore. I probably didn't talk to the right person. TCP Global has an old chip and were able to match it.

Hmm okay, that's what Blue Bastard used on his restoration and it's a perfect match imo. Was able to compare his next to my original gray poly at SC a few years ago.

I’ve found bearings/races that carry over from other Ford products. Seals from Toms. There are a few other parts that if worn out, they’re obsolete.
