Thanks guys! Allot of heat did the trick. Now, the bolt that holds the pitman arm to the steering box...there is a seal in there right? That big bolt has been there for 50 years so I guess heat is needed there too. Is that seal available in case I goof and melt it? Steering box is in good shape so only plan to open the top, clean it out fill with corn head grease and be done.

Get some Sili Kroil. Soak it for a few days. Remove the nut. Get the right buller and crank it tight. Walk away for awhile. Come back, knock the side of the pitman arm with a BFH. More Sili Kroil, crank the puller tighter, walk away.
Repeat as necessary. It'll come.

Thanks Tram. I assume no heat on the bolt then.

Managed to get all the steering components disassembled, cleaned and back together. Tore down the steering box and rebuilt it (thanks for the awesome tutorial OKType3Tim).
