The original holes of the steering and pitman arms found in the AD's had to be welded up & ''chevy'' taper cut for
the modern ball joynts. I had mine done at a 4 wheel shop. I can't say for your truck's front axle pieces if they need this done. there are many ball joynts
and sleeves available and all come in various lengths. mine measure out :::
ball joynts are center to thd. end - 3'' & 8.5''
adj. sleeve 4.25''
my overall length is approx 14'' this could go shorter but you could buy two different ball joynts at 5'' and use
this same sleeve. see a flaps for more details.
happy hunting
