Bad steering gear again.

The power steering gear on my 98 12v 2wd 3500 has play in the sector shaft. The first box went out at 30,000 and now at 79,000. I took off the shock and i think that it wears the sector shaft out from all the friction needed to move it. Now i need a new box, anyone know where you can get one other than the *******. Thanks Richard
