You're probably right; I have a '65 box in my 63 (identical,
manual box). Hmm... I have the old 63 box here (spear'o'death)
and the 73 parts car, I'll do a quick measure and compare. I
also have a spare Pitman arm or two.

I know that in later years there's only like two pitman arms. I
wouldn't be surprised if they fit the old box too. The major
differences are power vs. manual (different splined-end diameter)
and big vs. small taper on the outside end (old cars use large
taper ball joints/rod ends, otherwise interchangable!). Not
sure if there's any pitman arm length differences but that's
trivial to check.
