Power steering conversion question, Help! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have just installed the rez plate, cut the column, and stuck the new gearbox in place, and noticed my new (1984) gearbox, sits out 1/2'' from center to the column shaft. Has anyone else ran into this? I am now thinking that I should have gotten the 68-72 gearbox, but the rez instructions said it was for any gearbox up to 84, and my understanding is that the gearbox's are the same up to 87. excluding the pre 81 boxes. And now if I do need to switch the gearbox, I will have to get a new pump also

Any help is appreciated.
