What year is this steering box?

Post by Dwayne »

Looking at this steering box on fleebay and the code looks like C5ZR, but googling doesn't isn't helping much as they all seem to be C6ZR:

My 66 box is a bit sloppy and leaks, so looking at replacing the box if I can get a decent one.

Get yours rebuilt. They are inexpensive to do.

Mine is fairly worn, not just the bearings & seals.

There is a tag attached to one of the bolts on that box that can be used to correctly decode it. Ask for the details on the tag.

I'd be a bit wary of that box since the lock nut has been undone.

So does anyone have a 65/6 manual steering box laying around that they're willing to sell?

My box is about as sloppy as a Kardashian's once a camera is around.

If you can't find one locally, east coast mustang had a some years ago when I wanted one. Got it rebuilt for me too but it cost a couple of hundred if I remember correctly.
