Help Needed.

Looking for part number or places that sell Saginaw Steering Gear box parts for 1977 Bronco - Power steering.

Looking for the Worm Shaft and Piston.

I sent my Box out through Oreillys to have it rebuilt only to find out they really didnt do anything. Now i have a shop rebuilding it again and they are having trouble finding parts. Any advise is appreciated.

Check with West Texas Off Road. They are reasonably priced and do an excellent job. Easy to find on web.

Will they run into the same problem that my current shop has? It seems that it's hard to find worm shafts and piston for these.

Finally got it driving straight. I dont think I could pin point it to one thing but the new Swaybar made the most difference.

Sell as is or Paint and sell

I'm coming to a cross roads with the Bronco and i'm considering selling it.

Would it be wise to sell now or get a paint job then sell?

Nice paint sells. But whether you should or not will depend entirely on how much time and money you have to spend to get the job you want.
If it's a $1000 Maaco job and you do all the prep work yourself and just let them spray it, you'd probably be ahead of the game.
If you get quotes to do the full job for $10,000-$20,000 and it takes you a year and a half to finish, well, that might color the decision some.

Prices way up these days, look in the for sale section, see what one comparable goes for...

Depends on your area too
