For helping keep this great

on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 24 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 24 | I'm trying to locate a rebuilt steering box for my 4x4 Panel.Can anyone point me in the right direction?I called LMC and they no longer sell the box and Rock Auto lists the part as early 63 ps which is not what I have.I had heard that there was a ps conversion which can be done using parts from a newer Chev. I'd keep the manual gear if I can find one.I'm only considering ps conversion due to lack of availability of the original part. Any suggestions would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 108 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 108 |
I have had two of mine rebuilt by a local steering rebuild shop and you can buy them all day long on eBay.
I an sure Tony at 4-5-6Chevy Trucks sells the Power Steering Conversion Kit or can point you in the right direction. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 45 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 45 | Bearings, bushings and seals are what get replaced in a rebuild. I was able to get all of these for my 62 k20 from rockauto, truck and car shop, etc. Rebuild was not too difficult. Used the shop manual, and there is lots on the Internet about it. Something to consider if you have no other choice and the internals of your box are not too bad. I was happy with the results. Spares and cores ate scarce. A lot of the rebuilt units on the Internet are actually rebuild services of your existing box. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 172 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 172 | Bearings, bushings and seals are what get replaced in a rebuild.

And maybe a supplier. I'd like to have a list so I can look for availability before I pull the box out. Thanks, Greg

They do look scarce now but try item: 200998517189.
I think going through yours might be less expensive though...
Good Luck! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | The '60-'63 (early) & '63 (late)-'66 K10 & K20 manual steering gear boxes are different and the earlier boxes are more scarce & more expensive, if you can find one.
Contact Classic Parts of America. They have a fellow, in-house, that will rebuild your original 4x4 steering gear box.
