What is the best way to work out what year a steering box is
« on: December 21, 2011 - 04:50:00 AM »
I have just put a factory manual box in exchange of my power box.
I just want to find out what year it is so I can get the correct pitman for it.
The town where I live there really isn't anyone to ask , so might have to get one through ebay or the likes.
So any info would be great :working:
Merry Christmas to all

other than the spline diameter the boxes take the same arm as far as I know.  The 70-72 boxes having the smaller spline.

Thanks for that Dutch.
Its the early smaller spline.
Just wanted to make sure about the power to manual difference :cheers:
