F100 steering sector
I have a steering sector box and column from a 1962 F100 and cannot find a place to purchase a rebuild kit. I'm probably overlooking the obvious, but can someone tell me where to look?? Thanx!

There is no rebuild kit that I'm aware of, not even from Ford when these trucks were new. All sold as individual parts.
You may be able to find the steering shaft & worm bearings and races (2 each), the sector shaft bushing (1), the seal and gasket at a parts store as all are the same as used on some 1960's Passenger Cars.
But no parts store will have a new steering shaft & worm, or sector shaft.
All these parts are obsolete from Ford, but most can still be found at Ford Dealers/obsolete parts vendors NOS.
The upper and lower steering column bearings and sleeves are still available from Ford. The cost is about 40 bucks for all 4 pieces.
I've listed all the part numbers, sources who have the parts multiple times in posts here on FTE, you might use the Search Function to find one a them.
If not, I'll type the list again. And, I'm assuming this is a 2WD.

Thanks you guys. That's helpful feedback and gives me a place to start. My hotrod steers like a total beast and I'm hoping the F100 sector box will lighten up the steering effort. Its out on the ground so there'll never be a better time to rebuild. I need to tear it down, but hope I can get away with replacing the two bushings that capture the shafts and possibly the roller bearings. Any tips on which of the internals tends to be the weakest and typically needs replacement??
