Sid re-works the steering arms, and also drills them (and the pitman arm) for the modern rod ends. If the steering arms aren’t modified, the long tie rod will have interference issues with the leaf springs, and the pitman arm rod will not be level after stretching the axle. So, all 3 arms go to Sid with the axle.

In the pics below, the pitman arm rod end it sitting above the steering arm, and not inserted yet.
