Don't know why it would matter as long as everything lines up.

IIRC and we're talking about the steering box used on torsion bar IFS 
trucks, it was used on all p/s equipped 1000/1010's from '68 through 
'73(pickups and Travelalls). I just compared a 1010 box with a SII unit. 
Different bolt patterns for the frame mounting, but more importantly, they 
have opposite rotations. Turn the steering wheel to the right, the 1010 box 
rotates CCW(viewed from above). SII box rotates CW in a right turn. Not 
gonna work :(
