Nathan, if you're looking at the bottom of the arm to determine the shank size, you should know that the shank was peened into a chamfer at the end of the hole, so would appear larger until you get rid of the peened material. You can see the chamfer (on both ends of the bore) in the attached pic as I was pressing in the replacement ball on my 1/2 ton steering arm.
[on edit] You said too short, not too small. My bad. Maybe you could weld in the shorter ball shank? The one at Jim Carter I linked looks like it might be longer. You might call them and see if it would work.
