2wd power steering boxes

Does anyone know if they share the same pattern with the mounting bolt with the manual boxes? As in is it a direct swap? also does anyone know it a f150 4wd pitman are will fit on a 2wd box?

Same bolt pattern on a 2wd with manual or power steering box....steering column shaft is longer on a manual box tho....Yes an F-150 pitman will fit it...but if you are putting it on a 2wd it doesn't have the right angle at the end for the tie rods.

Yeah i looked at that. I did the same deal on a highboy a few years back. I just had everything welded in. It worked out really nice. The only difference now is that the 80s style 60 fronts have the inverted y steering like the 70s f150s used. So i need the rear facing pitman arm to have it all work out.
