Gear Box Question

My 69 has a leaky p/s gear box. Its leaking at the seal where the steering column couples to the top of the box. Can that seal be replaced or is it time to buy a new or reman. box? Thanks for the help.

The seal kits used on this Ford P/S gearbox come on two parts. One kit is for the input shaft (F3AZ-3E502-A), one for the sector shaft (D7AZ-3E501-A). The seal kits fit 1965/79 cars, and 1968/ and later trucks, so they are easy to find. However, the Ford P/S gearbox is not known for long life, so getting a rebuilt unit is prolly the way to go. You will need a pickle fork (Pitman Arm puller) to remove the gearbox from the truck.

thanks for the reply number dummy. i'll have to try and get it resealed, cause i dont have the funds for the reman. box. it's still pretty tight steering wise. napa has the input shaft kit for about twelve bucks. so we may give that a whirl. thanks.
