Re: Power steering conversion

I thought the Manual steering box arm was different than the Power steering box and always had change mine. I could have been wrong but thought the manual pitman was smaller diameter.

Re: Power steering conversion

If you already have a good pitman arm on the power box it probably will work. If you are talking about swapping one from a manual box to power, the part numbers are different I believe.

Re: Power steering conversion

I am pretty sure that the manual steering arm is completely different then the power steering arm.
