I have an extra core that I'd like to rebuild myself. Does anyone have a good source for the internals on the box? Seals, bearings, replacement gears/***** if needed.
I've got reverse rotation and new boxes are getting obsolete.

 

Could you find a local company to rebuild it for you? I once had a steering box for an old 60's mopar rebuilt at a local hydraulic shop, wanted it specifically for the date codes and numbers on the restoration so an exchange would have been out of the question.

 

I probably could, maybe the local hydraulic shop would order me the parts I just find it surprising that no one does this or sells a parts kit.

 

I got a rebuilt one from Redhead and sent them in a core for my white crew cab. That was about 8 years ago though.

 

have you checked rockauto? they got rebuild kits but from the looks of it there is only 2 bearings in the kit. i don't know if there is more than that needed to rebuild one of these or not. i have usually just thrown new seals at these thing as needed and got pretty lucky.

 

I just looked and there are bearings included in a couple of the kits 👍. I guess I'll just go with one of those and hope that my worm gear isn't too worn. The plan is to use one core for rebuild and send the other to redhead for a new box. The standard rotation boxes are still common. Reverse rotation are all 3rd world rebuilds and I'm sick of china rebuilt crap failing after 10-15k when the stock lasted 200+. I'd work on my truck a lot less if the replacement parts weren't crap.
