Ok got my lift and they sent me the steering arm today and opened it up and info said it was for 73 to 91.My question is are they the same as for a 70 model.HHHm I will have to compare it to one for a 90 model,maybe the info is not correct.

The steering arm should be the same as long as its an open knuckle axle. When I got the steering arm for my 72 the info said it was for 73-91, but it worked perfectly on my 72.

Don't beat too hard on the pitman arm. The sector shaft is strong but it's not surrounded by all strong stuff. There is such a thing as a pitman arm puller.
