Which pitman arm
 

I'm going to do a power steering conversion in my 67 C20. I think I should use the 68-72 pitman arm K6131. But other threads I read say use the year of the gear box, K6143.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless I'm switching out the center link, I need to stick with the 68-72 style, right?

My 72 C10 uses the K6131 arm for power steering. '67 may need a different pitman arm tho. The K6143 may be for later model trucks.

I'm going to use a 77-79 gear box, hince which is the proper pitman arm to use.

Bump, anyone? '77-'79 gear box going in my '67 C20. A '67 P/S pitman arm, or '79 pitman arm?

Use the 79. The idler arms are different for power and manual and the older style power steering ram (68 maybe 67 also)is way different. I think the idler arms are the same. I do believe its also best to change the cross link also, but I was also doing a disk brake change at the time also, so all my stuff was 78, spindles, ball joints, tie rods, pitman and idler arm. Makes it easier to keep track of.
