Steering was all the same for the 80's model F-Series...sometimes....alot of times it was questioned as to why, but i know they are the same and can be used on any motor.

Thats what I would do just as a temporary band-aid. Then once you get your one rebuilt, rebuild the one you get from the junkyard so when you decide to hollar bonzai or geronimo....you have an extra...idk why ppl hollar that stuff lol.
