Wanted Manual Pitman Arm for Early Ranger 2wd

[captndiet]

I know, I know, they are like hens teeth.

Anyone have one ?

I work with a company that makes street rod pitman arms and they have the ability to broach the pitman splines if they are the same as what they already make.

Even knowing the center to center of the manual pitman arm would be helpful.

Thanks for any input !

So far just scammers replying.

Would the part you're seeking be the part that's on my truck? 1985 RWD with manual steering.

I'm in the process of trying to replace this truck which may free up this part for your purposes, but I don't think I'm likely to be into the "disassembly" phase of that project until mid next year. More or less just posting this to give you a breadcrumb to follow up with me if it gets to that point and you still don't have one in your hands.

I will keep you in mind.

Thanks !

I don't have the dimensions, but I did post some info on the manual box pitman arms in this thread

Wanted - Manual steering pitman arm.

Just like the title says, lm looking for a pitman arm for a manual steering box.

Thank you !

I have new steering box and a new pitman arm coming.

Not sure if the master splines are in the correct location and I will need to cut the drag link taper a little deeper, but in a week or so we will all know !!

Edit: Correction - I missed the 2wd in the original request, everything below is a 4wd so please ignore:
-------------------------------------------------------
and here I took the time to check the 1st gen in the 'yard today and get dimensions for ya
2 3/8" offset, 5 3/4 center to center

Just in case it was too difficult to read I scribbled down the part no E37A-5590-AA ... now looking at the high res I think that first 5 is supposed to be a 3 - with the part number it should be real easy to get a drawing with a little google fu.

I’m looking to do the same thing to my 91 2WD 2.3 L. I noticed that the alternator is bolted onto the power steering pump. Did you take the pump assembly off, or just leave it on and do what with the hoses?

 

[captndiet]

My build is for drag racing and I basically threw all the stock stuff away and built my own brackets.
I am using a manual steering box so no need for the hoses.

OK, thanks. My project is a little different, I am going to take the motor out and make an EV. Trying to simplify that build, so I may just wait until I yank the motor to convert to manual. Cheers!
