I know the pitman arms are different diameters from 73 up, can i use the duster box and pitman arm with the rest of my steering linkage? Just looking for a cheap soultion for now until i can afford the FF box

Grabbed quite a bit off that one... 19K mile Cop Car.... Gave the roller 318 to a buddy... "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."
