Is a stearing box on a '44 1 1/2 ton military truck interchangeable with a '46 half ton?

The steering shaft is about 2" longer on 1 1/2 ton trucks but can be shortened.

If I'm not mistaken, the ratio is also slower on the 1 1/2 ton steering box. You might want to check the manual to confirm if this is the case for that year. It could cause some drivability issues (slower steering responce).

The ratio is the same. I have rebuilt many of these boxes.
