54 Steering Box Rebuild....
using a kit from MidFifty's or simular source Whats involved ?
Will I need any special tools or other parts that aren't included in the "kit"
I took the 54 to a local tire shop thinking the King Pins need to be replaced and they don't, they found the cross shaft thats conected to the pitman arm in the Steering Box has worn bushings or bearings, the shaft moves a lot as the steering wheel is being turned. will this repair kit have the parts to repair this problem.
Having never opened a steering box I am just looking for a little information for the enthusiasts here...
Thanks,

PS: a lot of old Trucks in the Woodward Dream Cruise last weekend both Stock and the Darkside made a good showing....
