Steering problems

[68handmedown]

Had a ram assist and steering box was shot so i removed and noticed the center link is totaly different than power and manual steering center link. Went to junk yard and got a center link off of a 70 c-10 and a manual steering box off a 68 C-10. Removed center link and everything connected to it. Set the new center link in the truck and bolted the new box in. all went together pretty easy. Only one problem the pitman arm on the steering box seems to be to long and will not bolt in the center link. I assume there is different size pitman arms and why would there be a lenght difference? Both parts are from a manual steering set up. Truck has been sitting for 8 months and im tired of seeing her sit. Please help my truck is depending on you.

Do you have any pics of your set-up?

So i pulled all back apart and started at the pitman and everything bolts right up. Kind of scared to drive because alignment was eyeballed so im hoping it does not pitch me off the road. Any ideas to get it as close as possible? I have heard about measuring the front of tires then the back to make sure its close but anything else i should do?

The pitman arms are different for powers teering and manual steering.
