I have what should be a '64 B-body manual steering box, and a buddy of mine has a '70 Duster; will it bolt into his Duster and are the pitman shafts the same?
Thanks in advance!

I thought Johnahah did???
Really I think they are different (the arms) check Rare Parts website for part numbers. I want to say that 68-72 is the same.

Awright, Bill, dang it...I admit, I once bought a set of '62 door trim panels for a '63; how smart can I be ?!

The bolt holes might be too small. The mounting bolts were upgraded somewhere about '66.

Thanks, there's info in the Archives here on that, and I should have checked there first; looks like it's no problem except swapping out the pitman arm and drilling out the mounting holes a bit.
