IIRC, the early 60's a-body boxes used plain sleeve bearings. Then later they changed to ball or needle bearings. I think C-bodies used larger splines on the pitman arm, not sure. I think if you used a box from a mid 60's through early 70's A or B body, you should be alright.
If you have more than one to choose from, usually the one with more threads showing on the sector shaft adjustment screw will have less wear. Typically, as they get used, that screw is adjusted inward to remove some of the slop so a higher mileage one will have fewer threads showing.
