I do have an option for you but I don't have any reference to that part number and neither does Kwikee, are you sure this is correct? If so then you can find the correct gear box using the series model of the step such as Series 32 which is printed on a label under the step. The Replacement Gear Box and A Linkage for Kwikee Electric RV Steps part # LC379160 for example is the correct replacement gear box for Series 32 Steps which are most common.
