Gemmer steering box seal kits

I found that the steering box seal kit i got for my 1955 Dodge 1/2 truck with gemmer box is not the correct one, all seals and gaskets/shims are too large, most likely for a 3/4 ton or heavier.

Anyone know who might carry these?

Thanks,
Derek

Try Motion Industries, they have stores just about everywhere in the U.S. and Canada. You may have to take samples there to be matched up.

If not you can try Andy Bernbaum he's an old time Chrysler vendor on the east coast. He can be pricey if its a rare part but he is usually helpfull.

bttt..........................

any other suggestions ?

 

it's been a year, put the box on the backburner for our new addition to our famiuly last August, our son will be a year old soon, then a move back home and getting settled.........now that the dust is settling and I need to get the 440 in place and want to get the steering column mounted to fit the u-joints, blah blah blah.....................ANYONE know of a source that can supply me with GEMMER box seals, bearings, etc?

I may need to steal a bearing catalog and cross reference seals, as the bearings don't look all that bad.

Failing that, since I am installing a 66 GM column, any suggestions on a different box?

Wondering when the vicious circle ends, thanks all.....
