I need some parts help
 
I put the front axle from an 87 4x4 Suburban on my 63 Burb. The 87 axle didn't have a pittman arm. I'm having trouble getting the proper pittman arm. Looks like the part houses are sending me a 2x4 arm, 1 end has a tie rod.

What I need is the arm that has 2 open holes, 1 on each arm.

Does anyone here know the part number I need and or where to order it from?

Thanks!

Got pictures? What is your steering box from? A 4wd pitman arm uses a bolt through a key way on the shaft and a 2wd uses a nut on the end of the shaft.

I replaced the one on my '72 Jimmy with one from a '91 Suburban when I did it years ago, the earlier trucks were discontinued. The 4x4 arm is not considered to be a wear item. You may have to get a used one.

Found a used 1 on e-bay for 26 with shipping. I bought it. Went by the local Chevy dealer, a new 1 is $195.00! Parts guy there has 1 he'll sell me for 20. I'll get the 1 off of e-bay and see how it is.
