He'll need at a minimum the center shaft from a PS-equipped 64-66. Might be easier to find a complete column though. |

Isn't there a difference in the pitman arm ?? |

Yes, the pitman arm is '62-'66 only. Steering box is '62-'72 A/B-body Steering column or steering shaft will need changed (shorter) P/S pump and brackets from '67-up cars do not necessarily fit easily in '66-down cars -- they'll bolt up to the engine just fine, but may not leave enough room for P/S belt adjustment without hitting the inner body metal. |

so will the pitman arm of the standard box from the 64 fit the power steering box from 67 to 76, are the splines the same? |

Again: Steering box is '62-'72, A/B-body. You cannot use a '73-up power steering box, which will not connect to the '62-'66 pitman arm.

Sorry to bring back a old topic but got a question in this matter, I got a 71 Duster and got everything but the steering column or steering shaft from a 75 Duster to get power steering. The power steering box will fit and install without problems?, will I need other thing to modify appart the steering column and/or steering shaft? Thanks in advance! |

If you're using parts from a '75 on your '71 you'll need to transplant the steering box, pitman arm, idler arm and center link. You'll also need a steering column or the shorter shaft used with power steering. |
