Part Number For Faster Ratio Steering Box?

I'm helping a friend build a 72 Chevy Cheyenne Super K10 4x4. We were wanting to replace the original steering box for the later model version? The truck has a 4"spring lift, Dana 44 front with the 402 BBC, 400THM, 12-bolt rear. I'm new to the 4x4's so any insight or hints are welcome. Thanks! Heres some before pics of "Jail Bird"...

Those Redheads are the shizbit. I got a Cardone through Car Quest and if my instinct is correct, they stock the 73-78 Model year part which is the one your looking for with the tighter turn to lock ratio.

Not a bad deal at around 150 bucks with a lifetime warranty.

Just retired Millwright superintendent, he's been gathering parts and saving money for years. Not going crazy just a mostly stock K/10 SWB Cheyenne Super...Exactly like this one with a 4" lift,
