Original Power Steering Leaks

[FastbackJon]

My '71 D100 has the factory power steering but it leaks down at the box behind the left front wheel. Sounds like that is common?

How hard or expensive are they to rebuild as I don't want to do a conversion.

I found this link while searching archives for power steering.

Looks like they can help with these old systems.

I sent mine off (flow control valve) to Steer and Gear in Columbus, Ohio. Just got it back a few weeks ago, so far everything seems good. They go through, clean everything and rebuild anything. Had to send the seals off to have them made new, took some extra time. Cost about $450, but they specialize in Mopars and one of the few I found that would work on it. Everything seems to be good so far, haven't really got to road test it yet, but fluids in, trucks been run, steering works good. Kyle

Looks like the four hoses are shot. I took them off last night. Are there options for new ones?

A place that makes hydraulic hoses should be able to crimp new hoses to your hard lines, but it can get expensive. I cut the hoses off at the crimp, flared the ends for a JIC (aka, 37 degree, AN fitting) and had hoses made up with male JIC ends. This way if the hoses ever need replaced again, it'll be a snap. Hope this helps.
