Steering box Q

[Jthomas]

My friend has a 89' burban 1/2 ton. Will a 92' 1/2 ton blazer's steering box interchange with his burban?
I assume he's not looking to do any mods to make it fit, just wants to know if they will interchange no strings attached.

Thanks

I knew that All blazers from 87-91 had interchangeable parts. But idk about a 92. Cuz that was a completely different body style.

No. Older steering boxes use 4 bolts to mount, from 73-91. They also mount on the outside of the frame. 1992 and up use 3 bolts, and mount on the inside of the frame. This results in the mount flanges to be on opposite sides and won't mount to the frame.

And if the sub is a 4 wheel drive, they use a whole different steering setup than the newer ifs trucks.
