I am needing an original 67 pitman arm for my 67 442. Not aftermarket. 64-67 are the same

 

May have. Have five gallon bucket of pitman arms, all GM. Dave S. southern NM 88012

 

Do you have a # on the pitman arm to identify it? I have a bunch of factory arms. Thanks, Bob.

 

For those trying to help with this, here is the number on a 1967 Cutlass with PS that I have. It looks like 5679208 then a symbol inside a circle, and digits 67

Thanks John.

 

[QUOTE=ROCKETMAN269V;1655812]The original part number is 5679207 with a casting number of 5679208 as per the GM parts book, so yours is correct. . Is yours for sale?

 

The casting number on it will be 5679208, please check to see if you have one.

 

The casting number I need is 5679208, please check to see if you have one.

 

Mine is on my grandma car, so it's not for sale. I'm hoping this will help the other guys who have some loose ones match it and provide you with the correct arm. John

 

The GM part number of the arm is 5679207 and the casting number is 5679208 per the Olds parts book. Please look to see if you have one.

 

I believe there are 2 taper angles throughout those years.
Dont quote me on that, but I’d STEER clear of 64-65.

According to Rare Parts, that applies to '64-'67; different diameter of the center link stud. Do you not have a pitman arm or is yours just unserviceable?

 

this is what I posted in the discussion forum:
I have a 67 442 with power steering. I gave my original steering gear to a guy to rebuild it as he specialized in Saginaw gears. I could not get the pitman arm off no matter how hard i tried with a puller. . He said no problem. I gave it to him to rebuild, it was just leaking and a little sloppy. He is about an hour and a half away so he said he would send it to me by a freight company he has used for years. They lost it....... I was so mad because I wanted to keep the original gear that had an "easy steer' spool valve. I found an original used gear off of a 67 Cutlass, but it didn't have a pitman arm on it. I had this one rebuilt by the same guy but we met in person when it was done. I ordered an aftermarket Pitman arm for it. He messed something up in it because it turned 2.5 turns one way and 1,5 turns the other way. He went radio silent! I sent it off to be rebuilt by a reputable company and had it converted to a 3 turn gear. It turns evenly now but I have a problem now that I had with the bad built one. It seems that the Toe-out on turns is way off as the car scrubs the tires on a hard turn and the whole car wiggles. I measured the length of the pitman arm and the idler arm and they are the same. . The only thing that is different from before it was built is the pitman arm. I grew up in an alignment shop but I am baffled. Any advice is welcome.

 

Charles, I found two; one has been media blasted, but the # is difficult to read. The other has some surface oxidation, but is clearer. PM to follow. Thanks, Bob.

 

Are these on eBay with this casting numbers no good?

Pitman arms. Did find four (4) of the #5679208, and one (1) #5679209, which seems dimensionally identical. The two Manual pitman arms are off to the left side, in the second to last picture, and have a Smaller splined hole. Have blasted most of these arms in the past, so they are clean.

 

Dave, I'll take one of the 208's, PM sent

Someone assumed newmexguy's (Dave) identity and "sold" me a pitman arm which I paid for but it's a scam. My fault for being naïve.

 

Here on the site? Did they communicate through PM or email? I have not heard of that happening here before. Over on FB yes people regularly make fake profiles but I don't know how they do that here. Please share more details on what happened, if your more comfortable sharing with just the moderators please do that. John

 

Here was the first communication from the scammer, email firefighter0159@proton.meHey RAG



This is newmexguy from the forum, sending you this text in response to your comment on my ads of 67 Cutlass Power Steering Pitman arm, I’m looking up to sell on the forum, where’re you located?Let me know. if you’re willing to take it,then we work out a deal.

Thanks brother

 

@RAG in post #17 you mentioned that you sent a PM. Did you ever get a response to that PM?

 

Yes, and replied then got the scam email so went with it. My brain fart entirely.

 

[QUOTE=RAG;1657065]..........email firefighter0159@proton.me..........First red flag, email ending in a number; when caught, they simply change the last digit and keep on scamming.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,my ads of 67 Cutlass Power Steering Pitman arm........ I’m looking up to sell on the forum, where’re you located?Let me know. if you’re willing to take it,then we work out a deal..........Poor English usage and grammar.

Dave does not communicate like this.

 

Sorry you got burned but thank you for sharing. A good reminder for the rest of us to be careful. Yeah, I could see myself doing that, getting an email right after talking through private message thinking it's the member. John

 

[QUOTE=ROCKETMAN269V;1657090]A lot of emails end in numbers including mine, its the proton.me that should be a red flag. The site can only do so much in prevention with rules and notices, ultimately the responsibility falls on the buyer to perform due diligence and only use payment methods that can be clawed back. We cannot control anything developed off site.
