Hey all,

Is there a difference in a 1979 4x4 p/s gear box vs a 1979 4x2 p/s gear box other than the pitman arm?

Sector shaft (where pittman arm goes) is different so you cant JUST change the arms

Interesting. I just wondered since the parts store shows the same part number with no distinction for 4x4 or 4x2.

NAPA shows TWO part #s one for "K" and ONE for "C" models both with pics and they are different
