85-90 S10's and some S15's. Use your pitman arm. It's an easy swap, but I did have to hammer the frame slightly to get the box to sit flush.

only hard part for me was changing the pittman arms. i ended up using lag bolts and bolting the box to my work bench to hold the box while i got the nut off and pulled the pittman.

You need to find a S10/S15 with a 4 cylinder to find one. 3 bolts hold them to the frame and they're a direct bolt in.
I'm lucky that I have a pitman arm puller and impact tools. I had the arms off in seconds
