Should be the same from '72 up to at least '80 for all 4x4's.

Steering box can't be mounted directly to the frame..you need the plate/bracket that mounts to the frame and then the steering box mounts to it. The pitman arm could be the wrong one also or mouinted on the splines wrong if it's not keyed. Maybe the box is incorrect? I'll take a pic of my 77 when I get a chance to show you the position the pitman arm is clocked.
Is there a part# on the pitman arm?
