Pitman arm was done for me by an acquaintance who is a metallurgical engineer as well as a certified pressure welder. The steering box end is mated to the original, then dye checked and magnafluxed.

The inside of the Toy box is 2 1/2 " inboard of the frame, and is a little higher than the original. Might be able to make it work by laying the box flatter and using a double U-joint to connect up to the column.

To adapt aeroquip fittings you will need a 16 and a 17 mm adapter. Only ones I could find came from Pure Choice Engineering.
