    Does anyone know where I can purchase a steering gear box? Manual steering. Ross? Gemmer? Thanks Ralph:?

    Welcome from Boston!

    The forum has a WTB (want-to-buy) category in the classifieds. The moderator may tell you to post there instead of here. It also helps to post your location either in the text of your message or in your sig.

    Re commercial sources, J&W Jeep in Sacramento has a lot of vehicles. What's wrong with the current steering box? If it's in bad shape, most will recommend that you convert to Saginaw steering (from Ross). If you want to rebuild it, the kits are available lots of places. Instructions are in the factory manuals - you can get a repop for the CJ-5 from several places for about $35. If you want the actual Jeepster manual, try eBay or maybe the various used book sellers.

    Tim, since this post is somewhat off-topic anyway For this section,
    when you say Boston, do you mean Boston proper. I am originally from Wayland mass and my first job was at Concord country club As the assistant mechanic I'm sure you know where that is. you know, the shot heard round the world. Paul Revere and all that stuff. anyway, just curious if you live in one of the outlaying towns?

    Doug, I live in Medford, up on the hill north of Boston near the Middlesex Fells. I work in Boston, at the Charlestown Navy Yard (where I am now).

    Sure I know where Concord is - been to Minuteman HNP a few times with visitors. Good place to go to get connected with history.

    If you still need one send me an email or PM. I am converting my 69 to Saginaw and will be removing all the Ross parts.
