I was reading firm feels site about using a 74 and up box in the older cars so you can use the cheaper newer pitman arm.

is it that simple? or some catch to it?
Pitman arms seem to be 150 to 190 for the older cars. The new one list for 44 to 81 bucks.
A rebuilt gear box from autozone or oriely is 115. Can't see spending 399 on a firm feel box for a cruiser vs road racer.

don't need the rebuilt box, but can't see spending 150 bucks on just a pitman arm either.
