You'll probably have a problem using the later box, the pitman arm won't match the center link. The later boxes have a larger sector shaft and the center link stud points down instead of up like the early pitman. This is a 67 kframe and you can see the pitman stud comes from underneath. You cannot use a early pitman on the later box.
