Gemmer box rebuild

Any leads on a seal kit for the Gemmer box in my 65 F100 4wd? How serviceable are these anyway? I've never been in one like this.

Anyone know if this seal kit will fit the box in my 65 F100 4x4? I think these boxes were used on the early trucks too. There is also a seal kit for the 48-60 truck box listed. Is that the same box in my 65?

I did. $546 plus the ride. It really doesn’t need rebuilding though. Hoping to just do seals on it if I can find the right set.
