Is anyone with a parts manual able to grab a part number for this?

Any help for a noob is greatly appreciated.

I can dig up the M500 steering box number but I don't know if the M600 used the same one. It may be in the parts listings thread.

I think the M400, M500 and M600 might use the same steering box. I wish I had a way to confirm this. I attached the Word doc of the
parts list which is a lot easier to read then the list on here. That list was quite organized until the forum updated and it sort of got scrambled.

Thanks a lot! That is extremely helpful.

I did some more searching and it looks like somewhere along the line somebody swapped in a Saginaw 710 Metric steering gear.. This box would normally be on a GM or Chevy chassis. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the rest of the RV has been heavily modified.

The steering box I put in Nessie, our 76 Mahal on the M500 chassis also fit Dodge, Chevy, and some ford 4wd Pick ups.
