Both inner and out seals are the same Sheppard P/N 79148 Pressure seal assembly is Sheppard P/N 79159 Page 10 on the link posted above Edited April 24, 2018 by 41chevy 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) I'm thinking that series was done away with or upgraded and is not really supported any longer with parts. I could be wrong too.

Blacktop Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 My best friend retired from Sheppard in 2013 I believe. The factory was located in I believe Hanover, PA or that general area. Unfortunately he passed away in 2015 so I can't get any more information about their boxes. I assume they are still in business as they made other products besides steering boxes. I hope this was of some help. Blacktop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
