My box is from a '78 Cherokee Chief, pump is early 80's Econoline Saginaw "canned ham" unit with some random outlet fitting to convert to the earlier flared hoses. I assume the box to be original to the Chero but I have no way to confirm this. My steering is very fast - too fast for this truck. If I had the choice, I'd go for the slow ratio steering box for sure. Steering also is very light with little "feel" which is why I dislike power steering and kept the manual box for as long as I did.

These Saginaw boxes also had two different piston diameters, um - large and small (go figure). I don't know the actual difference but it's not much. It does matter if you buy a reubild kit.

Here's a few comparo-pics of the pitman arm from ebay ($37.50 in TX - Leo Porter? Not certain) vs. the stock '78 Cherokee arm. Ebay arm is generally clean and black, Chero arm is in use and dirty. Hole to hole is the same, Ebay arm has a little drop, Chero arm is near level. M715 arm by comparison has "lift".
