Which Pitman arm do you use for PS conversion?

When converting my 65 to a 1976 power steering gear box do I use a 1965 factory Pitman arm or could I use the much less exspensive 1976 Pitman arm?

Use the newer one that is for the power box.....and be sure it is for a 2wd and not a 4wd. Although if you happen to have gotten a 4wd box the 2wd pitman are won't fit.
