Many years ago (in my tighter budget days) this truck had power steering and I think I recall just getting a used manual box (67-72 vintage) and merely swapped the power box out (and maybe pitman arm too). I did not change out the cross link or idler arm.

Is this recollection possible? OR, does it need the crosslink and idler swapped out due to the 76 box?
