linkage type steering gear
My gear box is worn, mechanic states they can not find any and that only alternative is to send off to Texas for rebuild with turn around time of 3 weeks. Does anyone know where i can find already rebuilt ones or a used one to send off so I can still drive the truck.

More Info
Ok, its a 73 SWB f100 4X, 360CID, 4speed manual, single speed transfer case.
the power steering pump hoses go straight to a valve on the steering linkage.
I have a ford shop manual i bought in 73, so i can probably get even more specific if you think you can help.
Thank you

Okay you have the power "assist" steering which uses a manual box. The valve you need has 2 hoses and is inline with the drag link that runs from the box to the rest of the steering. Those setups are very $$$$$ to rebuild.

That is where I am planning on getting my steering gear for my '74. I got a quote back in Febuary and it was $316 + $100 core + shipping. They have then instock as well.
