Hi everyone,been assembling the front end on my 57 3100 shortbed.The drag link I have had sent from Truckshop is approx 12.5 inches centre to centre and looks wrong as cant get correct steering travel. The old one was shot I cant find it to compare at the moment,I hope I kept it.Can anyone tell me what the original should be as the truck has had a few changes from stock over the years,tnx in advance Mark

Hi Mark,

The drag link on my 1955 second series 3200 measures approx 15- 7/8 inches center to center. Quite a difference from yours. My first series 55 (similar to 48-54) measures approx the 12-1/2 inches you have.
