It can be done as those little suckers are getting expensive. I would think the 36-39 would work but don't quote me on that. Hopefully someone will chime in over the weekend for sure.
EDIT: or you could just check out one of the vendors like JimCArter and see what years they list the same replacement for.

And your old unit can save some money if it is deemed "rebuildable" by that vendor. I have gone thru several of these units. You need a good housing (axle holes not real sloppy),and decent worm and worm gear. The small brass wear plate will need replacing for sure. And most important, the tongue has to be in good shape. If you feel froggy - read thru tech tip on this and see what you feel safe messing with. They do come apart relatively easy.

That in itself is a lot of the problem.
...I wasn't going to say but I have a "rebuild" kit but its a "one off" and a present to me. A fellow bolter made his kit but can't do it for the masses. I sure wish he could as it's save a lot of guys some nice $$. | | |
