The setup is from a 4WD so I believe I need to change the Pitman arm. No problem there. However, I've seen a number of steering column lower shafts (between the rag joint and the gear box) advertised on eBay as for "power steering" setups. Is there a difference in shafts between power and non-power steering and thus I'll need to buy one? My '72 is (obviously) non-power steering right now with a factory floor shift.
Thanks,

Not worried about the box itself.

Wondered why some "power steering" lower shafts were for sale on eBay and wondering if there was really a difference. Thanks again! :-) | | |
