My 1952 Chevy 3100 wanders a lot, especially at highway speed. It is generally stock except for the drivetrain. 1956 235 6 cylinder, 4 speed tranny, open drive shaft.
The steering box was overhauled years ago by someone in town.
I think the drag link tie rod is too loose and plan on replacing to a new style tie rod system. Brothers trucks has tie rod ends with ball joints. P 98 catalog.
The drag link for that year is old style tie rod end. The newer Drag link with the tie rod ends is for 53-54. Advisor at Brothers does not know if that one (OFDL354) can be used on my 1952 pickup.
I assume the ball on the pitman arm would need to be removed to accommodate the newer drag link style.
Does anyone have an answer to this question.
Is it acceptable to modify my steering linkage in this way? I do not want to modify my pickup more than necessary.
If someone has advice on how to change linkage it would be appreciated.
