Can someone help me I D this steering gear.

[jzjames]

I was in Autozone and the clerk asked if that was my truck, "yes", then did it have power steering? "no", well would I like a free rebuilt power steering gear for it? "Oh yeah!". He said he had one that had been rebuilt, took it out when he junked his truck and it was just sitting there, never going to use it. I went back the next day and got it, but I cannot see how this is going to fit my 67? I tried to decipher the numbers on it; C9AR-C, and 3A587A. Does anybody recognize this? Im thinking it may be for an earlier 61-66 Ford. Maybe a 4X4? At least it's got a really nice ragjoint
Can anyone help me out? Here it is.

Saginaw gear, but not for an F-series truck.

Give me the numbers off the tag that's held on by one of the two top cover bolts, I can decipher those for you. The number I need should start off with 'SPA-'.

However, that appears to be a '79 F250 4WD steering box.

That is not a 4x4 box. It is from a Ford car.

Thanks everyone. Kieth, the number on the tag is
SPA AA
72K 16C
Interested to see what Ive got

After a second look that looks like a 1980-97 truck box.
