Joe H, thanks for the information and the link. Straight shank rod ends would make things easier.
Bartamos, thanks I had seen that thread and made my bracket for moving the steering box out similar to the one shown by Coach529. I believe in the thread he indicated that he flipped his drag link to the opposite side of the pitman arm but what I did not realize was that he also modified the spindle arm to allow the joint to come up from the bottom. I am hoping to minimize the changes to the spindle arm so something like Joe H described seems like a preferred solution for me.
