Working on my 1ton panel, the frame and steering box are from a ‘51 one ton. The steering box shaft was cut (not really a big deal) question is does anybody work on these that can make sure it’s still good and or will a 1/2 ton steering box fit the 1 ton frame if mine is not good or repairable.. thanks joe

According to the service manual and parts book the steering boxes are the same from 1/2 ton up thru 1-1/2 ton trucks.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Lares rebuilds steering boxes. www.larescorp.com

They did one of my Ford trucks many years ago and I'm pleased with the results.
