2WD pitman arms

Post by ima71 trucks are older »

I know there is a difference on the steering linkage end somewhere around '71 but are the pitman arms the same on the steering box end for manual/bendix and ford steering boxes?

No...MS and PS Pitman arms are different, they won't interchange.

The pictures posted above illustrate the difference in the PS pieces between the early-'71and earlier, and the late-'71 and later.
