I picked my steering box up today and am ready to get it back on and the Ol Blue mobile again. Heres the skinny. My pitman shaft was bent resulting in a tight spot and also was contributing to the leaking seal. Guess what there was not a replacement anywhere to be found. They did have a shaft in stock which is 3/4s of a inch longer. With the Supension lift I am thinking that 3/4 of a inch will put it closer to the stock geometry. Total rebuild with the 136 $ replacement shaft came to 368 $. I am just happy to have it back and when the weather allows I'll finish the frame reinforcement and get it rolling again.
