Highboy Steering Box

Need a steering gear box for a 77 highboy. I'm sure other years will fit. Cheaper is better. Just need something to get it wheeling again until I can find time to put hydraulic on it.

1973/77 F250 4WD (High Boys): With Power Assist P/S, the manual steering gearbox is used...because it has nothing to do with Power Assist.

Two long P/S hoses, pressure and return, route from the P/S pump to the control valve.

Two short P/S hoses, pressure and return, route from the control valve to the ram cylinder.

Since no P/S hoses route to the gearbox, it has nothing to do with Power Assist.
