That's what I was thinking. the manual box only has 3 bolts where a p/s box has 4. I think the later frames are drilled and set up for both with the indention for the bump in the p/s box. The pre 69 4x4s frames are flat with only 3 factory bolt holes.
I bought a brothers 60-66 p/s adapter plate (told they work for 67-72 also) awhile ago but don't really want to use it as I don't want to put the pump further out from the frame as I think this would make the torque that cracks frames on these 4x4s increase. In it it says to line up the top right and bottom left bolt and drill new ones for the other two. But they did not come close to lining up on my frame.
