Let's see hmmmm. If the steering wheel has to be at the center of it's travel and the steering bellcrank has to be 90 degrees to the front crossmember and then the drag link must slip right onto the bellcrank arm and the pitman arm then the pitman arm needs to have the steering gearbox bolted in the frame before you attempt the final installation of the pitman arm. :wink:

Take a close look at the response Wes gave to my post. It's all you need and I can verify it worked.
