I believe it will, but you will have to use that crummy inverted - Y steering setup. grab on from a F150, I am 90% sure they are the same as the 350. The 50s are different due to the funky leaf spring TTB.

Yes all the steering boxes are the same, 150-250-350. You're arm will fit. You have the F3504x4 drag-link and tie-rod as well as the track bar, right?

the axle has nothing to do with the pitman arm... 80-96 F150-F350 use the exact same steering box
