It looks like I have a 'TRW' style power steering pump. I've pulled it and was wondering how hard it is to rebuild one or if anyone has sent their pump off to be rebuilt with great success?

I've looked high and low and it looks like availability for a new or rebuilt version of these pumps is not happening anymore.

Any recommendations* for correct pumps, rebuild kits and pressure lines are appreciated. Trying to keep this 68 stock but...

(Note: I have not had good luck with Classic Industries or Year One. The customer service parts people seem baffled when I talk about this particular part ;)

Thanks in advance.

Look at rock auto website, they have rebuild kits. Not sure for your application thought.
 
The TRW pump is similar to the Federal pump. You might want to look that up. But generally speaking, support for the Federal style pump is very scanty. The Saginaw pump is easier to find, has better parts support, and is actually a better pump — it doesn't struggle to keep up with rapid turns of the wheel. I don't know what motor you have, but you can buy the pump and the brackets for a small block in many places. I have a slant six and had to scrounge used brackets to convert.

Thanks will do that and see what they have available.

I was able to get a rebuild kit for my TRW pump from Steer and Gear. I bought it within the last year for about $30.00 I think. Everything fit great. It is a pain in the ***, but within the capabilities of any patient mechanic. Do borrow the pulley removal puller from your local O'Reillys or Autozone, nothing else will get the bloody thing off
 
I have brackets for a Saginaw pump for 69 back belt system that I just took off mine. PM me if you are interested.

Thank you!

Do you happen to remember where you got it (vendor) and what the part number was by chance?
I'm willing to rebuild it and have mechanical aptitude and patience.
 
It is "steerandgear.com". I'm not sure of the part number (maybe 2109?), but they have a parts page that you can skim through to find it.
