I've started the nasty (understatement) job of rebuilding my steering gear. I have 3 steering gears in total. One from a 46 Chevy 1/2 ton, one from a 40 Chevy 1/2 ton. And one from my 39 GMC 1/2 ton. The 39 interestingly enough looks like the 41-46 steering gears but I haven't looked closely enough. Left is the gear from the 39 GMC and right is the gear from the 40 Chevy. I haven't decided which one I am going to rebuild. I have already disassembled the 46 and it had some water in the gearbox with some pitting in the Worm gear. I need to draw up some gaskets in CAD and cut them out on the laser cutter but I'll need to decide which gear to use as the earlier 40 gear uses a different gasket pattern.
