Re: steering box on 71 4x4
Welcome to the 67-72 Chevy Truck Board from West Michigan!
The 75 will bolt up with no mods. I believe that it was not until 79 that they changed the fittings. Jim

I used the one off an '86 just so I could have the new fittings. Bolt patterns are the same.

Re: steering box on 71 4x4
Hmmm, I thought the "spline" count on the male end of the steering box changed in 73?
I could be confussed  that has been happening alot lately...
