Brad,

Where does Jim Carter now list that in his catalog? JC Catalog Listing

KEV BB FARMS,

Lares Corporation rebuilds steering gear/column assembles; however, they do not know the correct part for a 1954 truck.
https://www.larescorp.com/
Lares incorrect unit - same as incorrectly shown by Rockauto.com.

If you call Lares they will assure you that they have your correct assembly - they do not.
I'll tell you their BS reply/response to my query, if you ask.

Rockauto.com had to help me to get Lares to take my steering boxes and rebuild them.
Rockauto still does this, and/but the price with shipping ia around $1,000.00
Rockauto listing - note the wrong unit in the photo - from Lares Corp.

I'd try to follow Tiny's advice - see if you can find a local machine shop that seems to know what they would be doing.

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
