Pitman arm question

[reed62]

Hey all,

Another question. I have a 1970 manual steering box. Is the pitman arm the same for 67-87 trucks whether it is a manual or power box? Reason I ask is, when you order a power box they send you an arm off the shelf without regard to what year it is going on.

Did Chevy just make 2 arms for these trucks? One for power and one for manual or are they the same? I have an arm on this 70 manual box so before I go through the process of removing it I want to make sure it is going to work.

My end goal is to put a power box from a 79 C-10 on my 62 C-10.
