Power Steering Swap

Ok I did a cursory search and didn't turn up the info I seek
This concerns a 93 Reg cab 4x pup.


Anyone know if I will have to replace the steering shaft if I swap to a power steering box? Are manual and power steering shafts the same length?


The steering shaft is the long rod coming from the steering wheel out to the gear box.


Thanks

Ok from the firewall to appx the end of the gearbox shaft is 23.8" to 24".

(and I just noticed the power steering gear box I have says "TOYODA" on it. )

My truck is 2wd but when I did the power steering swap, I had to use a shorter shaft because the box extended farther up. If I remember right, I picked a shaft up from from the junk yard from the 84-88 gen truck and it was adjustable length.
