Saginaw steering box bolt patterns?
Hello, I've been looking at putting a Saginaw steering gear on my truck and have read through the post. I intend to use push/pull steering for the time being and I can get a free ch*vy 4x4 box that I can't index the the pitman arm on. but will work for my planned setup. My question is if I want to switch to cross over steering if I lift the truck will a ch*vy 2 wheel drive box, or dodge box bolt in the same holes? Bottom line do all 3 of these boxes have the same bolt patterns to mount them to the frame? thanks in advance.

From what I remember reading (it's been a while, so I could be off) the chevy & Dodge boxes are the same configuration, but Chevy has a 12:1 ratio, whereas the dodge has a 15:1.
The 4wd boxes and 2wd boxes turn opposite each other, but do bolt back and forth in place of each other (= bolt pattern is the same).
