Wow, that's the first picture I've seen of it!
I found a local guy that has a dozen or so trucks like mine out front and said he could rebuild it for the parts kit and an hour of labor. So I yanked it out yesterday and figure for less than $200 out the door, that's the way to go.
Thanks for the help

I sure hope you've found one of those rare guys who can rebuild the Bendix. I'm surprised there's a kit available. I had mine done by a local whiz who used parts for several other applications including Range Rover. He said the Bendix is unfairly maligned because the real problem is heat from the exhaust manifold which on the FE trucks is really close to the box. He suggested a small radiator like some other Fords used.

He mentioned the bendix term and said a couple other things that makes it seem like he knows what he's talking about. And since he is always selling bump and dentside's, I'm comfortable with him. I saw some rebuild kits online but maybe it wasn't for the right one.. I'll look into a bit closer, thanks

Update: The shop is still searching for the right parts kit. They've gotten a couple but they haven't been the right ones. He is supposed to check back today once he gets the new kit. Here are the numbers on the box:
128206
CHGAHZ
8021
I plan to call Redhead later today and see what they think. To buy one, their site estimates $576 plus a $450 core but I'll see what a rebuild will cost.
O'Reilly's has a reman gear box for $265 but it looks like they're out of stock as well.
Are there any other options?

These guys did mine, and I know at least a couple other Bendix gears.

I don't know if he ships to the USA but it won't cost much to ask.
