That is the case on a manual steering gear box, but the 2wd and 4x4 boxes are the same, except for the pitman arm and mounting. I just completed a 4x4 power steering conversion on a '66 Chevy K10 and I ended up purchasing a new power steering gear box.

The 4x4 power steering steering gear box will work for the power steering conversion on your '60 Chevy Panel, you just need the correct pitman arm that will receive the shaft on your power steering gear box. Any Chevy 4x4 with power steering from the late 60's thru the late 80's will work and they are very abundant from the scrap yard or try www.carsteering.com.
