Unhappy 1958 Remod

Greetings! I have a 1958 Ford F-100 Short bed pickup that I am in the process of restoring/modding/repairing, and I am having a beast of a time trying to find anyone who has access to a steering gear box for this truck. I have found a few places that will rebuild mine, but it involves shipping the core cross country (I'm on the East Coast), having it rebuilt to the tune of upwards of 500 dollars for starters, then having it shipped back. Not a real big fan of this idea as it seems there are just way too many things that can go wrong during that trek. Does anyone have any ideas for something that might be a close fit or functional replacement for this box? I haven't driven it for three years, since my ex wife was scared it would kill me as it has over a half a steering wheel's play in it before it engages, but I'm itching to get this thing back on the road. Any help is greatly appreciated.
