That should be it, but I dont have my NPD catalog handy. I wish I found the seal kit before I spent $375 on a new cylinder.

You might want to look into replacing the power steering lines also. After I replaced my ram, the old lines blew.

Before you do that, you might try Lucas Oil Power Steering Stop Leak. My 74 leaked for 15 years before I put the stop leak in it. It hasn't leaked for over three years now.....

replacing the seal should be easy . I've replaced many on pumps and pistons for other applications . make sure the rod is smooth and cleaned of all burrs. sand with a fine micron paper , also coat with a silcon grease before sliding over the new seal. Now , I need this also and could not find a seal kit anywhere . 20 bucks is better than 300 . where can I get this catalog you found the kit in .
thanks Jack.

go to www.npdlink.com , you can order a catalog online, or call 1 800 368 6451 or 1 800 874 7595. they have a few different catalogs, ask for the 1948-1998 ford truck one. they have a lot of stuff, i've haven't ordered from them yet, though. the seal kit is $38.33. i thought www.lmctruck.com catalog had a similar kit but i cant find it now, i might have been mistaken.
