P/S Box

I have a Ford P/S box #C7AR-3A587A D1TR-3550-BA C6AR-3580-A2. Those are the numbers on the P/S. I don't know if it leaks so my question is get a rebuilt one or redo the one i have now? I don't want to place front cap and motor in and find that the steering box leaks. If there is a seal kit does anyone know the part number?

From what I understand the seal kits are pretty much a patch job and the bulk of the rebuilt units that you will find are no better. I ended up researching this a bit and bought my unit from these guys. I have been very pleases. Here is a link to their website. Red-Head Steering Gears, Seattle WA - Red-Head Steering Gears FAQ

I had a different experience, my gear was leaking, I put a seal kit in the low end of it and it has worked for several years.
