forgings - not castings. always look for the thick parting line flashing on forgings.

Thank you for that information. The steering gear is fully rebuilt and restored. Now all I need to do is find the pitman arm.

Rick,
I found this in my collection, and just not sure on how to validate since I do not have a manual gearbox. Correct 8 inch arm and part number. Rick

Thanks to a very nice gentleman in Maryland (Steve) he is sending me the correct arm at no charge. The people on this site never cease to amaze me!!!
I guess one good deed deserves another. About 2 minutes after Steve called me with his offer, we were checking out at a convenience store when a clerk in their office went into multiple seizures. I did not know it but Annie saw it and called my attention to it. I was able to administer first aid and call dispatch with her vitals and got her to relax until EMS arrived. My way of paying it forward? Maybe.

Steve's a good guy and it sounds like you are hero to someone! Maybe you missed your calling? Great way of paying it forward for sure!

Rick, helping to save someone's life is worth more than a pitman arm. Thanks !

Was following this thread on the pitman arms and just read your last post Rick. Very good of you, and amazing that Annie picked up on that. Give her a big hug as you are both great people. Glad you have a pitman arm coming from Steve as well.

Annie has been around me and the fire department long enough to recognize things. Thank goodness for that.

Way to go Rick and Annie! I started taking First Aid and CPR classes a few years ago just in case I was ever faced with that situation. I hope I am never faced with that situation, but just in case, I feel I am at least a little prepared.
I'll get the pitman arm pulled from the box and shipped to you tomorrow...like I said, you're one of the good guys and your actions just proved it.
