Hey guys! Does anyone know of someone who can rebuild a 1956 Fairlane steering box? Preferably in the northeast part of the country, but beggars can't be choosey. Thanks in advance! F F
 
Can you get a rebuild kit at NAPA? Perhaps they have the parts individually? Assuming this is manual steering, there is not much to them.

Hey Gene - I have a complete rebuild kit from Concours including the 2 tooth worm gear on the shaft. Someone locally (a great mechanic) took mine apart & I got all the parts needed, but he's been jerking me around now for 3 month's about putting it together.:eek: F F
 
Just wondering ....​

What have you decided to do?

LARES will want a CORE ($$$).

Did you discuss with them as yours being disassembled?

Maybe they can rebuild yours to keep numbers correct?

They will accept my disassembled box, as long as all parts are there. I am not concerned about #'s because my car nowhere near original. I will be shipping my stuff to them soon.
 
Update: Lares will accept my box disassembled. They take your core/box & rebuild it w/new parts on site, so you get yours back like new. Not cheap, but it comes w/a warranty also. I shipped it out today. Don't know what the turn around time is. F F
 
It is not mine.

I found the photo and the owner had a tear-drop hood and 63/64 427 HR LIGHT-WEIGHT frontal air intake on it.
