Their website has the specifics for each part they sell. Just find the one that Matches your truck. If you don't trust yourself, give them a call.

Speaking of this topic, just curious, how much work is it to replace the steering box?

It wasn't too bad on ours. 4wd, PS though. You will definitely want a helper.

Thanks for that info Bill! I went thru all the moves this weekend trying to see what was up with my '74 and found a leak and where the steering shaft goes into the box and a large amount of play before the pitman started moving.. I do not want to pull and rebuild, will just order a new one using your part info.
