Early 55.2 Drag Link Found some notes in the '59 Chevy master parts book on the drag link part number about a "double taper fitment" and "requires replacement of Pitman arm and steering arm". GM appears to have had a better idea that didn't last to long. I've got replacement parts located (Tom Myers in Miami,OK) but was curious if anyone else has seen this setup.

I didn't have that tapered nut, though, as the original drag link was missing from the truck. I have an aftermarket drag link on the original pitman are, haven't had any problems, I just installed the new drag link with a flat washer to keep the nut out of the taper.
