    I think most 1960's & 70's gm arms will fit that box.Maybe other brands as well.What is the steering box going into?

    It's already on my RPU I'm just about ready to start driving it and I don't trust the pitman arm thats on there. So a Vega pitman arm has the same number of splines as a '34 ford? It cant be that easy.

    Its a model A lower arm welded to a '34 upper arm. It was done in the 50's and the welds look good. But I have decided not to use it.

    Any Ford arms from 32 to 48 and also pickups to 52 will have the same splines. Some will have different lengths and angles through the years, but you now have a lot of different sources for arms, and can bend in a press if need be.
