kencombs Posted September 1, 2021 Report Posted September 1, 2021 Does anyone know if these kits fit the C series trucks? The location is very different but I don't know if the internals may be the same. Don't know that mine needs anything beyond seals and adjustment as I haven't disassembled it yet, but it has obviously leaked for a long time and may have some wear that is beyond adjustment. Quote
bkahler Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Posted September 1, 2021 If I remember correctly CHS Ricardo Cavallero had various kits available. I had to provide them make/model of the truck and also casting numbers from the steering gearbox so they were sure their parts were correct. Considering my steering wheel originally had about 1/4 turn play in it and now it doesn't have any I consider it a worth while fix Brad 1 Quote
D Cienega Posted June 3, 2023 Report Posted June 3, 2023 bkahler Hello, just wondering if you filled out a 5106 form for customs and at the time was ask from Ricardo he needed account # and Tax ID on wire transfer. My bank isn’t putting any personal information on wire transfer. Not sure if it was like this in 2019 thank you for your time. David Quote
bkahler Posted June 3, 2023 Author Report Posted June 3, 2023 David, Yes to all of your questions. I filled out 5106, provided my tax ID (aka ssn unless you own a business and have a business ID) and bank account #s. The requested info seemed over the top to me but after talking to my bank, talking with Ricardo and reading wayfarer's response to my question I decided it was worth the risk. From what I understand it was just pretty much a normal international business transaction. This purchase process happens thousands of times a day around the world. Ultimately you'll need to decide based on your comfort level. I have no regrets making the purchase and I'm quite satisfied with the kit and the final end product. If you do decide to make the purchase, when performing the replacement of the wheel pay close attention to how you reinstall the pin. The info in this thread should explain everything. I hope this helps you make your decision. Brad Quote
D Cienega Posted June 3, 2023 Report Posted June 3, 2023 Brad. Thank you for your response , have a great day. Quote
Moscowiz Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 (edited) My 1951 DeSoto has worn wormgear. Someone successfully used Ford parts, anyone can advise me if any Ford part will fit mine?

Moscowiz Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 I ordered worm gear for 53-60 Ford pickup from cgfordparts. It has 88 stamped in it, like Desoto's original. And it is perfect. Now it is installed, waiting for oil seals and then I can reassemble my steering gear. I am so happy I found correct part. Quote
