I'm using the later box in mine. I probably cheated but for a rag joint, I used the flange from each of the original steering column and the box I was installing. I put a rebuild kit for a rag joint in and that worked like a charm. IIRC I bought a new Pitman for a 73 up and it worked with the original stuff. I had just replaced everything due to a disc swap. It works great but I do need to get new hoses, the ones from the 78 or so box are a bit long and don't run the way I would like.
