when swaping sector shafts will all two wheel drive shafts fit in a 1990 4wd box or is there a certain year shaft for this style box?

Sector Shaft Swap

I wouldn't swear by it, but while replacing the seals on mine, I had to buy the 2wd lit and the guy at NAPA told me that GM used the same steering box on the 89-91 V Blazers and Burbs as it did on its 2wd trucks. No time like the present for someone to verify that.

Recently this was discussed and it seems that there are two different power steering sector shafts, a variable ratio and a non-variable ratio. They are not interchangable and I haven't found out how to tell which one you have without pulling the shaft itself.

Anyone ever tried to swap a car/jeep sector shaft? I have alot of 4wd chevy boxes and a couple of car/jeep ones that bolt to the inside of the frame. The sector shaft appears to be the same...but I won't know untill I actualy try and bolt it up.

Do the chebby 2wd boxes bolt up to the frame in place of the 4wd ones, are is modification required?
the reason I ask is I am debating on whether or not to buy a reman/salvage 2wd box or just swap shafts for my x-over conversion.
