Steering Box From SD?

I have a 1991 F250HD 4x4. I need a new steering gear, mine leaks (bad) and the alignment shop said it has play. Which it definitely does. I want to know if I can swap in a 4 bolt box from a 1999+SD? I can figure out the pressure lines and return, what I want to know is if the steering wheel shaft, pitman arm and bolt pattern will match my truck?

Good question. I have a similar question. I have a parts SD with a good steering box. It would be nice to put it on my OBS.

Alignment Values, what camber bushings should I get?


What degree camber busings should I get? I have to get the truck realigned again since the steering wheel is unstraight, so I thought I'd drop some camber busings in it. These readings are with zero/ neutral busing on both sides. Should I get 1° bushings, I know specs is +-.5° with +-.75° max (Ford truck manual).
