Re: Clutch won’t release
I have had a clutch stick occasionally, but not as long as a 6 year hiatus. Mine always free up by starting in 2nd or 3rd gear. You could try it it an open space of course. It costs nothing to try .

Re: 32 commercial truck steering box
Yes this must be a BB box . Seems like 17.1 ratio. Now I need to find a Pitman arm . STD ford pitman is too small by 0.123”. Spline count is the same. It’s a very nice box.
