Control valve leaking at Pitman Arm

Forgive me if my terminology is not correct. My control valve is leaking where the pitman arm screws into it. I took a picture for reference. I need to know what seal to buy to get it replaced. I think I might have found it but I'm not sure. Is this it?

Re: Control valve leaking at Pitman Arm

What you have there is definitely not an original power steering for your truck. The link you posted is a seal kit for the control valve on an original power steering for your truck. It is a little hard to see in the pic, but it does look like your truck has the '68-'87 power steering box on it. You can also buy a seal kit for it, or just buy a complete remanufactured steering box. But first you will need to determine more precisely what year range it is. If you pull one of the hoses from the steering box, and see what type of fittings it has. The '68 to about '80 will have the SAE inverted flare fittings. From '81 and up the fittings will be metric size with an O-ring.

Thanks Captainfab. I don't know what all that means but I have some reading to do.
