Re: manual steering help

If your stock pitman arm won't fit it, you probably have the wrong box.
Does your S10 box have the 4-bolt top cover?

Re: manual steering help

your stock arm will fit. i went with a 85 s-10 manual box with 4 bolt pattern. i know the 3 bolt ones might not fit.

Re: manual steering help

3 bolt top cover is 83 and older. Although it can be made to work, it's not as easy to adapt as the newer 4 bolt top cover versions. It's better to find a 4 bolt top cover version which is a direct fit.
