X-over steering. ??

I believe they do. You just have to watch out for newer trucks like above 89 some of the steering boxes are metric fittings.?
I looked at my steering box and walked around the junkyard, found a 2wd version that looked the same out of a 77 or 79 chevy truck. It swapped right in, the only thing that was not the same was the rag joint.
The rag joint diameter where it bolts onto the splines of the steering box are bigger for the 4wd and smaller on a 2wd box. Be sure you grab a 2wd rag joint with the steering box so everything bolts right up.

Pull the sector shafts and compare. Might be able to just swap out the sector from one box to the other.

you can, that's what I did with mine, My rag joint blew so I replaced it with a ujoint. then did the crossover but the input on the new box was different.

They interchange, like said above. Mines off a 76.
