power steering 4x4

Will the power steering box from a 2x4 (67-72) mount up to a 4x4 (71). I went to buy a box and pump from the wrecking yard and found a set from a 69 2x4 but the yard owner said it wouldn't work on my 4x4. According to him the 4x4 box is mounted differently. I had never heard this before. Does anyone have experience with this issue.
Thanks.

Re: power steering 4x4

he is right, 2wd and 4x4 steering boxes are different, will not interchange

AFAIK the box mounts to the frame the same. The pitman arm is mounted 90 degrees off from 4WD to 2WD boxes. Since it is the output shaft of the box that is keyed differently this can not be easily changed.
