I believe that '59 through '68 are the same, except that the cap on the resevoir is different after around '63. Although I would recommend keeping the old pump, and possibly rebuilding it yourself as a spare, I don't see the benefit of not buying a new one. Mine came without the resevoir, but it was very easy to switch that from the old pump. The new seal is included in the package with the new pump. This was a new pump, not a rebuilt one, and I think it cost around $65.

The saga of the leaking power steering pump continues.
I have been researching "stuff" on the site and was wondering if anyone knew what the "part number" is for a power steering pump seal kit? Rather than buying a new power steering pump & reservoir (site indicates autozone has 'em), I was going to go the route of new seals because I think the pump is fine it is just the seals that are causing the leak.
I can't seem to find the right part number at NAPA which is were some of the folks on the list said they found this part. I have also seen posts that said that the kit can be gotten from Chrysler but that post was more than ten years old so I don't know if it still applies or not. Any help y'all can provide would be appreciated.
Also, if I am reading the posts correctly, the 1960 through 1968 power steering pumps were the same even though the engine size increased. Is that right?
Thanks everyone!
