Need a quick answer, power steering box

I have an unexpected chance to run to the salvage yard going to start getting parts for my power steering swap can anybody confirm the size of the big nut on the power steering box. I'll be looking at 70-80's trucks

Re: Need a quick answer, power steering box

If you are referring to the big nut on the steering box I am pretty sure it is a 1 1/4 inch nut but why would you not take it off at the pitman arm? Pull the cotter pin and remove the nut even an adjustable will pull it off and smack the side of the arm and you can get it off without a pickle fork.

Re: Need a quick answer, power steering box

I got my set up off 1971 C-10 don't recall having to change the pitman arm
went on a 63 C-10.
I did have to use a spacer on one or two of the frame bolts and make a bracket for the other
