71 F100 pitman arm

Hey guys. I'm new here, as well as to 67-72 pickups. I bought a pretty decent 71 swb 2wd and have begun a long process of upgrades. I swapped in a new column, gearbox, pump and lines from a 79 F150 to convert to power steering. The problem I have discovered is that the pitman arm is larger on the p/s gearbox. Does anyone know where I can find one? I can go buy a used gearbox that already has one, but would rather not because I already bought a reman box. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Seth

might want to let us know were you live. Maybe someone here has one they want rid of. Also, you should hit the "Welcome Mat" and intro yourself there. That way this post will not get cluttered with welcomes and no answers to your question.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The output shaft on the power steering box is larger then it is on the manual box. Length is not an issue.

Thanks
Seth

He's correct.
The shaft on a MS box 1.125, the shaft on a PS box is 1.25.
