Scott, I'd put an 80's style steering box on it and go on. I think GM started the metric fittings in 77 or so. That's what I did on my Longhorn. The 2nd gen dodge pit man arm might fit, but I do not know that for sure. I do know that the 92 dodge pitman arm was different than the 89 chevy on the burb and I had to use the dodge one on the dodge box. These were 4x4 boxes though.

I'd also highly recommend getting one of these boxes if you are spending the money. I've put a couple of these on dodges and they are way nicer than an OE unit. I haven't used one for the chevies becuase they have just came out recently. The only better option are the Redhead boxes, but I don't think they do the pre 88 chevies yet.

I see Redhead will do custom box rebuilds though, might be an option for you.
