Pitman Arm/Steering Gear box

Hey all, I've got a 1953 Olds Super 88 4 door sedan and want to know if the Power Steering gear box and pitman arm are the same as a 1959 Super 88? Reason is that I have a Power steering set up from a 1959 Olds and want to use it if possible in my 53 since it has no steering box or pitman arm. Thanks for your time.

They are not the same.

I cant seem to find a steering box, steering column, pitman arm. The car was originally an automatic. What are my alternatives? What other steering options are there for my car? Anything a bit more easily accessible? I don't have an interchange manual but am thinking I might need one soon. Thanks.

I've got a 1955 parts car with a power steering column/box if it would interchange. Joe's reference shows the pitman arm interchanging, but I don't know if the box/column does too.

Hollander shows the 53 to be all by itself


and the 54-55 the same, with them not interchanging with any other cars.
