I was told several years ago that the steering box used was the same for the 2wd and 4wd trucks, except for the pitman arm.

Is that true?

Is the pitman arm the same except installed rotated 90degrees?

My truck expertise is really with older Fords

 

Yes to both questions, and the 2WD box is mounted on striat to the frame and in a diffrent spot then the 4x4

 

4x4 Bolts to a bracket that bolts to the frame.

 

The pitman arms are not the same. The hole for the draglink in a different size.

 

Thank you for the quick replies.

I appreciate the expertise

 

1st gen '72 - 77 2wd have standard rotation, and 4wd have reverse rotation boxes.
