Power Steering Questions
Will a power steering gearbox from a later (73-87)model truck work on the 67-72 trucks?

I replaced my 72 power steering box with a 76 unit. The 76 did have the pitman arm already on it. I used all of the 72 steering column parts. I used the 72 power steering pump and lines. Everything bolted together as if I was using the 72 power steering box. Alignment, as per standard sepcs, drives without any problems. I did add a steering stabilizer unit.

80 on are metric boxes,& will have an O-ring fitting instead of the old flarenut. I have an 84 Burb box on the longhorn,& it was an easy swap using the hoses for the burb,& replacing the fitting in the pump......but I do have 73 up waterpump,pulleys,ect(the 383 is in 6/250 position for weight transfer). good luck.........69
