Need help identifying steering box
Had an issue pop up when i backed it out the steering box started leaking around the end.
I am unsure if this is a 1966 or 1985 box? It is on a 1966 Suburban The front rack is off of a 1985 c10, so i am unsure about the steering box. http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps47ds6zsi.jpg http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqfaiway3.jpg http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqfaiway3.jpg http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...psham3ynsw.jpg http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps8akslhhq.jpg It has 85 stamped into the end. Not sure if this means 1985 or something else. |

I figured out it is defiantly from the 80's.
Is the small gap in the seal supposed to be there? http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...pscfoytfrs.jpg |

That's not a seal, that's a snap ring and yes it should be there.
As for the year, the boxes look the same between the Inverted Flare style and the Metric style (which uses o-rings). Easiest way I know of is looking at the line fitting. Pinch the return line close to the hardline on the box and unscrew the hardline. If it has an o-ring, it's the later Metric style. If none, then its an Inverted Flare style. |
