Hopefully the arm will hold up better than the 4x2 box's you sold me..

Yes they should be the same! I test fit the stock pitman arm from my manual steering box on the my new 4x4x2 box and fits perfect. I carry it for a spare!

[Daddy4zack]

Anybody know what lines to get? will the 78/78 bronco lines fit the Sagnaw box? Does anyone remember what application they got their lines from? Shit Maybe I should just start the Hydroboost next and have the lines made once!! Thanks

Sorry about that, all I knew was one leaked, bust them both? I'll go out and look for the arm tonight.

Glad to help

What a "F" Up!!

Well got the power steering hose.. Rush home to put it on.. After awhile of fighting with the fitting on the box side .. Finally got it on.. Everything looks good. Went for a test drive and the pump whines like a cat.. ADDED more fluid and the whine go's away..
Seem's to have a small leak around the adapter and the hose at the pump end.. So I grab a 3/4 wrench and tighten things up a bit.. WELL... the adapter is brass and STRIPPS.. WTF!! Oil everywear... DAMN DAMN.. Off to Lowes tomorrow to find another adapter.. What a waste of a afternoon..

One trip around the block felt good!!

next time HOLD A 5/8 on the adapter while you tighten the Hose!!
Hope this helps someone else doing the swap..

Ooops. Live and learn I guess huh? Did you bleed all of the air out of the system before you took it for a drive? That's hard on your pump to run it with air in the system.
