steering box

I have the front suspension and steering in pretty good shape except for slack in the steering box. I am having trouble finding parts to rebuild the box. I have found some parts for the truck boxes but nothing for the car. I am wondering if the car and truck use the same box. I looked in the master parts manual and it did not show a separate box for the 1/2 ton.  

The car is really aggravating to drive like it is. If I can't find parts to fix it I might convert to power steering. Parking lots are becoming a challenge anyway.

@steve-d 1951 Style line. There is a lot of slack in the steering box and I cannot find parts to rebuild it. I can find bearings, seals and bushings but not the worm gear and pitman shaft. I have found some sites that have parts for trucks but nothing for the cars.

 

Thanks, Pete

I have a steering box from a 52. I can check it out if you are interested . A friend who worked in a restoration shop helped me with  my 32 so i will see if he is available to assist.
