...make a pitman arm for Toyota/Ford manual steering box conversion? What's the big deal? They make it for the power steering box.

Thanks!

I hear ya bigdaddy but no one does. I went down the road and end up putting in power steering. Won't go back now. Find a machine shop willing to make a few and market it. Of course liability is hard to overcome. Good luck.

the gear box spline count isnt the same? I thought you could put in a manual box as well and still use the power steering pitman arm conversion.

Nope, the shaft on the power box and manual are different. I know from painful personal experience. Go with the power box, it is worth it. The manual box is too different.
