I used what was on the truck before the switch and it works fine. Maybe they're thinking of the pitman arm? I've read where some people have had to change that.

I believe the difference is as relates to Bendix vs Saginaw P/S boxes.http://www.fordification.com/tech/str-s ... ations.htm I, too, just swapped boxes and columns and used the same drag link.
