Hi, new here. I bought an 86 K10 and have been working on it for a week. There's a lot of bad and a lot of good. Most of the good is it does run and drive.
One of the bad is the power steering gear box. It's leaking from both the input and sector shaft seal. It leaks even when not running...
It's a New York truck that managed to escape the bad rust...but the steering box has it's share of rust and looks very nasty. I'm thinking the seal surfaces might be pitted and better off to just buy a rebuilt box with a guarantee? No use wasting time on a dead horse...Any opinions welcome.. Thanks
I've replaced seals in in GM two wheel driver boxes...
