ID this pitman arm for replacement

1966 suburban
Has spring over lift
front disks
differentials are dana 44

I am in the middle of replacing the steering system with a new saginaw box, pump, tie rods ect. The pitman arm was a bear to get off and the tie rod foughts till the end. Finally I had to cut the tie rod off. I used every trick and pulling forking device I could find. Anyways I am having to replace the pitman arm but I beleive it is custom. The burb has a spring over lift.


There is a number on the pitman arm B828GMT15

Having no luck crossing this. It looks to have a slight drop in it. It is a pitman style that has 2 holes. Most of what I see online has the pitman arm with a stud on one end.

my set up looks almost exactly like this skyjacker set up

However it is not a skyjacker lift.

Anyone seem this part number? B828GMT15

Re: ID this pitman arm for replacement

After doing some more research I think this is a custom part made for whatver spring over lift kit that is installed on the burb. This was done by the PO. I am assuming the mt15 means its a 1.5" drop. Looking a the arm that looks about right.

Those drop arms are expensive even on ebay so I am going to take the pitamn arm and see if a machine shop can get that stub from the tie rod out.

Like I said I tried heating it and beating the heck out of it with no luck. Possibly they can drill it out?

A few minutes in a hydraulic press should get the draglink end out of the pitman arm.

Re: ID this pitman arm for replacement

it looks like a similar set up to the one from a '76 K20. I had this setup before I realized it wouldn't work with the 2wd steering box.
