1986 FJ60 Steering Box Which One Is It??

[jpsfj60]

Getting ready to buy a steering box from Jason of Cruiser Yard. He told me to make
sure which one it is.
Early model 60's have a square bolt patter.
Later model 60's have a bolt patter that is offset like a parallelogram.
Here is the links with the pics Jason sent me.

Early 60 Series Rebuilt Steering Gearbox with Warranty, Like New
Late 60/62 Series Rebuilt Steering Gearbox with Warranty, Like New

Here are the pics of my steering box still bolted to the frame. No I am not going to unbolt it
to figure this out. I have to use the truck every other day.

It looks like the later. On your pics, the right top bolt appears to be slightly off center. Looking at my pic on the website, that is the left side since it's reversed. Take a square and put it on the lower right bolt in your pic(nearest the FW) and see if it hits directly in the middle of the top one.

Jason, You are right. Its the later PS gear box according to the square. Man after
staring at it for awhile it plays tricks on my eyes. The leaky mess doesn't help either.
Go figure I just put a brand new PS pump on cause that was really leaking.
Thanks!! Now i know what to order from ya..
