Number decode component build

It seems like I buy books that are sort of accurate but missing certain information.
I have a steering box that I figured out the date code from the book, however I cannot ID the manual steering gear model.

C5TR 3550 I know that is a 65.
STEERING GEAR MODEL = HCD BI
BUILD DATE CODE = 5M15C which I interpret to be 1965, December 15 3rd Shift

Pitman arm has C5TA-3590 Which is 1965
Can anyone enlighten me?

Beers to ya
