What's the difference between manual and power steering tie rod end adjusting sleeves

I just ordered all new tie rod ends, ball joints, and tie rod end adjusting sleeves. I didn't notice until a minute ago that the sleeves I ordered are for a truck with manual steering and my truck has power steering. The adjusting sleeves for a manual steering truck are 10 bucks a piece. For power steering, they are 30 bucks each. What is the difference between these two? I did notice the PS sleeve is .5" longer but they look real similar otherwise. Can someone shed some light on this? hopefully soon! Thanks!

To my knowledge there should be no difference unless they are crossing it into the disc brake by mistake. What year are we working on?

On Rock Auto and Classic Industries they list different part numbers for manual and power steering sleeves. The power steering one are three times the price.

Stan at early classics says there is no distinction between tie rod ends or adjusters for a power steer or non-power steer 65-70 truck. They are $17.00 each.
