'72 Manual Steering Interchange?

[C10 - C90 Bill]

I'm trying to find out the complete interchange on a Manual Steering Box for a '72 C-10. I have a Hollander, but it stops at '72. (Need to get a newer one)! I believe the power steering interchange and the manual interchange are different. Any info would be appreciated.

On my 71,
I changed mine from manual to power, pulled a unit from a 73 with its pitman arm, it bolts right in place and I use a new 73 pitman arm, no problems so far,,,,,I think you can use 71-78 steering gears, dont quote me on the years, but there is a change between 69-70-71. I also put a pump from the same year as my engine (67) so it looks factory and its fine, you will have to make your return line or pull one from a yard, pressure line i use either a 71 or 73 line,,,,, thats the best thing ive done for the 71 SWB ........Hope this helps...Also pull the piece from the steering column, you may need it, I cant remember. Another thing if you go from manual to power you might (dont have too) want to have your camber set for power steering, there is a difference, If i recall power units have negative camber and manuals have positive....... If i spelled wrong i blame it on my cold.......
