Bendix Power Steering Boxes--Where to get one?
in my 68 F250. After looking at 2 different rebuild kits for the pwr steering box, I realized that it's a Bendix box and the kits were for Ford. Does ANYBODY know where to go for rebuild kits for Bendix steering boxes? ( 128206 followed by CHG-AH-2 ).
And PULEEZ don't say it's the same as the Ford box kits or I can get it in any parts store. Not true. I'm looking at a $220 steering gear if I can't find it.
SOS!

Dennis Carpenter has a power steering box seal kit for a bendix unit. Part number C6TZ-3E500-A. It's listed for 65 - 67, for $50. Don't know if it would work for a 68 or if the year listing is a misprint. Might be worth a phone call. 704-786-8139.

Well, DUH! Checked my DC cat and yup, they have a seal kit for 65-67. Have to call them tomorrow and see why or if it doesn't fit 68.
Thanks, guys.

Well, I got the $220 gear put in. Swear to God, I think it would be worth it to convert to manual and get rid of all that power crud. Heck, I'm not planning to let any children drive it, anyway. I used to drive a '63 Kenworth 3 axle tractor with manual, so I guess I should be able to handle an F250.

I guess the DC kit wouldn't work?
So how did the installation go? Is the steering better now?

Bendix Power Steering Boxes--Where to get one?
I would like to put a Bendix power steering box in my 67 F100 with manual steering. Only place I can find one is from Oreilly Auto Parts at @$279.99 plus $150. core charge plus shipping. Ouch. Does anyone have one they would sell, or a lead on where I could purchase one? I have a great column, wiring, etc. in the truck now, and don't want to replace column with a shorter one so I am trying for the Bendix unit. Thank you!

I hope this isn't against the posting guidlines. We are talking here about helping a fellow ford person. Are you referring to the control valve that controls the slave cylinder for the power steering setup on f250 , 4x4 trucks up thru the middle of the 77 model year. If so , then , send me a private email. I have a Bendix control valve that you can use as a core or it will probably work on the truck, but it leaks.............fd
...........I just reread your post and i don't thimk we're talking about the same Item!!!fd

Thanks, fatdaddy. I think we are talking about different critters. I need a power steering box made by Bendix. I will not have to swap out entire steering column if I can find one. A stock Ford unit requires use of a different, several inches shorter column, wiring changes, etc. Mine is in great shape, correct color, etc. Sure would appreciate it if I could find a Bendix unit that will bolt right in. Thanks, all.
