Manual steering gear box

Hey guys, been a very long time since I posted, still lurking though, was in college so didn't have time or money to even drive the truck let alone work on it but now I do.

So the thing I was wondering is what years of what vehicle used the same manual steering gear box as my truck- 1985 f150 300I6?

When I look in the Haynes manual it doesn't specify there being different steering gear boxes, so dose that mean because the manual is for “Ford Pick-ups and Bronco 1980 thru 1996 2wd and 4wd, full size, F100 thru F350, gasoline engines”. that all 1980-1996 F100, F150, F250, F350 and Bronco’s will have the same manual steering gear box and be interchangeable onto my truck?

Now for those who will ask WHY?
Because I want to restore to what it originally had witch was manual steering and my power steering pump died a month back anyway. So I have been driving around with manual steering using a power steering gear box.

Thanks for any and all help.
