Does anyone know where to get a remanufactures P/S gearbox for a 1956 Pontiac Catalina? My boss has a nice 56 Catalina and the pitman shaft seal is leaking, any advice on where to find one? I've checked the parts stores, and some of the vendors I could think of and found nothing. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

Pontiac Master Parts Catalog calls for part # 5685355 in group # 6.855 here

Rock Auto shows it as SKF 12392 (with a cross reference to the Pontiac number) and has 3 seal kits remaining here

Thanks, gentlemen, for the replies. I checked Lares earlier, looks like the original may have to be sent in for remanufacture.

I was able, with the SKF #, get a National Seals PSK-1 kit at my local Advance Auto Parts.

A lot of this older stuff isn't in the computers correctly and hasn't even been in a printed book in recent times. Having a cross-reference number helps considerably as that information usually stays current.

That's why I like to look on Rock Auto's web site. They usually have the OEM's part number and for things like seals the same part is often used on GM, Ford and Chrysler products.
