pitman arm question.
gathering up parts necessary for a conversion to power steering. my question is the pitman arm. i understand that you will need a new one on the power gear box. is it because the one off the manual box wont fit onto a power box or is it that it requires a completely different one (size wise). i ask because the power box i got has the arm already and it looks to be exactly the same as whats on the truck now. new (used) power steering gear box is a later quick ratio from late seventies.
thankx |

Re: pitman arm question.
I just took the ps box off my 79 parts truck. I had a new ps pitman for the 70 I'm putting it on to use just in case but with it all apart now I see that the 70 and 79 use the same part at least by visual check the taper looks to be the same size/lenth. I'm going to go with the 79 pitman and see what happens
