methinks my steering gear box is shot

there is tons of play in it, anybody ever replace one of these? I have an 84 pickup with no power steering; any tech tips would be appreciated and especially a good source to find this part would be good, I live in southern california. I have a feeling this is one of those parts that its a generally a waste of time to look for at the pick a part, or maybe not. Can they be rebuilt?

I have a couple of p/s box rebuild kits if you need one. They are for the later model ('88-'95) p/s boxes. Contact me by e-mail or PM if interested.

I'm a noob to 'yotas, but I had an 84' Dodge Ram that had the symtoms you describe, it ended up being a crack in the frame where the steering box mounted...
