PS Gear Box for '78 front in a '69 Burb

[53burb]

I am going to be replacing my PS box next week. On the Checkers & AutoZone websites they show the same P/N for '68-'76 PS boxes & the same P/N for '77-'79 boxes. This makes sense according to what CableGuy0 has said. I want a variable assist one. Do they now make all the replacement PS boxes going back to '68 variable assist, even tho they were not like this from the factory?? Checkers P/N '77-'79 277512 '68-'76 277501
AutoZone P/N '77-'79 7512 '68-'76 7501 I was thinking that the variable assist ones started in '73. These are all for 2WD 1/2Tons. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you need a pitman arm puller. there is also a difference in the 77-up boxes the steering shaft coming out of the box that hooks to the column get smaller in the 77 up boxes so it will not bolt to your stock steering column (CableGuy0)
