STEERING BOX

I have an 1955 F350 Flatbed. The steering box has leaked out all of the oil. So I'm looking for a rebuild kit. I've found rebuild kits but they are all for F100 to F250; I don't think they will be the same as my F350. Does anyone know if the F100 and F250 are different steering boxes than the F350?

I'm also looking for Drag Link Covers. I ordered Drag Link Covers, but they were for an F100 and did not fit. So does anyone know where I might find one?

The F350 box is bigger with a different ratio. I do not know if the F100 rebuild kit will work.

What in the world is a drag link cover?
F100/250 use a different draglink and steering gear box than F350.

The draglink repair kit, all the bearings/races/seals/gaskets for the gearbox are available NOS (I just looked and found them all).

I'll list the part numbers/sources if you're interested.
