Steering Gear Fits most 1977 – 1979 Chevy and GMC C-Series (2wd) Pickups. This steering gear has a nut and washer holding the pitman arm onto the sector shaft. If you have a clamp style pitman arm (notched sector shaft) then you have our part number 2855. This gear is a 15:1 ratio and is stock. If you would like an 18:1, please order this gear – 2854 4T. You can either order this gear and change the pitman arm or you can order the 2855. This gearbox allows you to retain the factory steering shaft, as well as the stock pitman arm. This is a major advantage especially those with lifted trucks with dropped pitman arms, you will not have to change your pitman arm.
