If your truck is a 67-72 c10, and you live in rust free california, hit the junkyard and get a 96 (easy steer) and newer used gear box (outside frame mount) from i believe a 4wd half ton gm truck. Get the intermediate shaft, rag joint, both lines and the fitting and spool/spring from the back of the power steering pump. Swap over your old pitman arm and bolt on all of these parts and it will give you 3.5 turns, variable ratio, and easy steering. I suggest all of these parts because rag joint changes through the years and the intermediate shaft will help, the lines were inverted flair up until about 75 and then switched to o'ring style, so by getting the fitting from the back of the pump everything matches up.
