Thanks Bill! Sorry to hear that. Another one stop Source of Parts for Vintage Vehicles gone. I was just going by their Website which is still active and no indication they are closing up. Too bad. One more suggestion for sourcing the Sector Shaft-try Dennis Carpenter. He has or did have a very large # of NOS Parts for Fords. You used to be able to access the Inventory directly off the Website using original Ford Part #'s but I don't see that Link on His new Website. You may have to call them and give them that Part #.

  

Thanks for all the help. After several emails and even more phone calls I came up empty handed. The rebuilder is a reputable shop and he said that it turned out good with the used sector. I should have it back later this week so I'll keep everyone up to date.

Don't know if it would help, but you could try Kanter Auto.         https://www.kanter.com/

Also try Green Sales Co. They are in Cinci, not MI as I mistakenly said in another post. You can input the ford part number on their website.

Green Sales Co. don't have one.  

  

I ran into the same problem in western Canada. Could not find any shop or supplier that could supply needed parts to rebuild a (very bad) 57 car steering box.
Ended up converting to a 1958, ( box only) which has the later recirculating ball mechanism. However, in the case of a 1957 to 58 conversion, definately best to use the complete 1958 column assembly, because the entire horn & turn signal setup is revised starting in '58. Otherwise, sorting that out is another whole story...
