Highboy steering question

Hey guys im new to this site so i am not to sure how it works, i just bought a 76 Highboy, great shape, but the steering is sloppy. i need a steering gear and a new steering shaft does anyone know where i can get these. this truck is my daily driver and the steering will scare the crap out of you. Thanks

Where's the excess play at.... steering box, control valve, tie rods, drag link, etc., a little slop here and there adds up to lots of slop at the steering wheel.

Redhead is an excellent gearbox, they actually take the gearbox and machine it to accept needle bearings on the sector shaft that weren't there from the factory, making it far superior to any factory replacement you can buy elsewhere.
