I removed a Factory system from a 71 camper special 2wd.
Will it bolt on to a power wagon? Is the drag link the same length? Tapper eyes same size? Is the pitman arm the same from the 2WD steering box Vs. 4wd?
I have the System for sale and am being asked the question.
Thanks

Re: factory PS question
Thinking it won't swap because for some reason thinking the drag link for the 4wd model is in front of the axle whereas it is behind the axle in the 2wd models. Also thinking the steering boxes are different and located in different positions between the two models.

Re: factory PS question
Nope. Drag links are behind the axle on D's and W's. W's link is basically straight while the D's link is bent some. Steering box is in same location on both.Johninky wrote:Thinking it won't swap because for some reason thinking the drag link for the 4wd model is in front of the axle whereas it is behind the axle in the 2wd models.

Re: factory PS question
I can double check, but I believe the Pitman arms are different.
Also, the tie rod on the 2wd 100/200 is behind the axle whereas
the tie rod on the Ws are in front of the axle. This would likely
pose an issue for the hydraulic ram. On the 2wd P/S
systems, there were trapered shims between the axle and leaf
springs as well..... Lots of "stuff" to be aware of.....

I see what your saying. I was asking the question because I had a D200 PS system for sale and someone wanted to know.
I have ford PS on my crewcab
Thanks for letting me know.
