You got LOTS of room.

Have fun you'll have a completely different feel for the road when your done.

 

Perfect. Thanks.

Tell me about your dump bed?

 

Would anyone know the part # for the pitman arm needed for the mid 70's 4x4 W series reverse rotation power steering box conversion?

 

No, but it's been discontinued for over 25 years, so why is it important ?

Boneyard is the only place you will find one, unless you buy a whole parts truck, just for it...


There may be someone here who can help you out, but they are cherished pieces.

 

I think I have come across one, so I am trying to get the part # confirmed before I spend money on a reverse rotation steering box. The # on my pitman arm is a little hard to see, I have #3496984-16-65.

 

My pitman arm has 4 flat spots in the bore at the steering box end with 7 splines between each flat spots for a total of 28 splines. The bore at the steering box end is 1 1/8" from flat spot to flat spot, bore at drag link end is 3/4". The drop is 2 3/8".

 

Call redheads or powersteering.com to confirm fit on the gear side. The draglink specified in the rr builds can be found online. If both ends fit, the drop and length I can measure for you on mine

 

That would be great! The length of mine is 6 1/2" from bore to bore.

 

Hi NJTman
Have you had the chance to measure the drop and length of the pitman arm on your reverse rotation steering box?

 

Center to center of each hole is approximately 6.5". Total drop is approximately 2.5"

 

Thank you! You're help is much appreciated.
