Yup...69 up to 82 I think. It was early 80s when they went to the metric crap.
I think you need the pitman arm off the newer boxes...but I may be mistaken.

The metric boxes will work also ,if you change the hoses. I have an 84 burb box on my 69. Best to get the pitman with the box if you get into the 80s metric pcs. crazyL
