Pitman Arm Compatibility

Hey Guys, thanks for the input. I can clear up a little of that argument going on up there. First of all, the 6 cyl. K frame I ended up using wasn't actually the 74 from my original car cause my buddies decided to take it joy riding one day and curb jumped it and dented that K. I located another 6 k from somewhere and I truthfully don't remember what year or what it was from. I did however use the original steering box from my 74.

So if i understand what I'm reading, a lot of my steering issues may have been caused by incompatible steering box and pittman arm? The Steering box is manual, but the arm resembles that of one from a power steering system.

So if I match the arm I require with the steering box, the rest shouldn't matter?
