Help with a steering box number

When I bought my 59 f100 the po gave me another steering box he had gotten to install and never did.It clearly is not the exact same box as the original one.Its a larger unit and the steering shaft is not hollow. can anyone identify the box by the casting number? the number is C3TR3550A DIF Thanks for any help.

My box has GEMMER molded into top of box. Am looking for seal kit for it. Found Pittman arm seal at Napa and oreillys, no gasket sets at this time

C3TR-7550-A is not listed in the truck parts catalog nor the Master Cross Reference catalog.

The only number that can ID the steering gearbox is listed in column 1 (Housing Identification Number) in the chart that Teddy posted.

But, you may not be able to find the number, as it was stenciled on the housing originally.

C3TR is a 1963 casting number, but the gearbox could be from any 1961/64.

Marc: All the parts of these gearboxes were sold individually, so there is no gasket set.

1959/60 F100/250 4WD with B9TT-3504-A Gemmer steering gear box - Parts List #12.

FTE glitch, cannot post pic of parts list, but pic of gearbox flew.

7RT-3581 .. Gasket-Sector Shaft Cover-4 holes / 2.5" & 2.91" hole centers / Obsolete

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has 15 = 606-787-5293.

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 17 = 800-476-9653.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
81T-3595 .. Gasket (shim) Worm Shaft Cover / .003" - Quantity as required / Obsolete

WESLEY OBSOLETE has 12.

CARPENTER has 40.

Parts catalog can be confusing, for those unfamiliar with how to use the puppy.

'Course, FTE member I Buzzard Bait is so confused most of time, he's lost the second he backs oughtta his driveway!
