Thumbs up Re: 1971 C/10 to K/20 Conversion

Today I decided that I'm gonna go with a steering angle correction arm from ORD. This makes the drag link more level and at less of an angle with a 4" lift. Should help prevent bump steer. I'm gonna go with this for now and maybe someday later on a can convert to crossover steering.

I have read that taking the stock steering arm off the knuckle is almost impossible. And I would have to agree. However I used my portable band saw and pie cut sections I used LOTS of penetrating oil and then used a chisel and big hammer to rotate the cone washers enough times to keep slicing chunks out of them. I did happen to cut into 2 of the studs. But I double nutted the studs and backed them out with an impact gun.
