I just bought an 86 Trooper box but it only has a single hole in the ptiman arm. The guy at the junkyard said this was an 86 box, but the truck is long gone, so I do not know if it had round headlights. The u joint was not on the box either so I'll have to adress that issue also if this box fits. I have a sbc in the truck and hope to use the stock gm pump and make up lines to fit both the box and the pump. Any suggestions,warnings,etc that I should be aware of?
