pic request of front suspension (69'- 1/2 ton truck)

I have to finish up this friday and can't tell if I'm missing something or not. I don't know why I don't have any pics of my own. Thanks for any help here

sorry about being vague...specifically the pitman and idler arm and the tie rod ends. I was looking at my pile of parts and it seemed like I was missing something to connect everything together.

Any help would be appreciated. I will have some pictures of the parts I have and see if I can lay them out to make sense of this. It's almost a roller again!

You are missing the idler arm that connects to the other side of the tie rod.

OOPs I should have read the entire post, sorry.

Just remember that the nuts for the tie rods face front, through the steering rod ( looks correct in the pic). It will steer funky if you get it wrong, Believe me... I know.

Alright...good advice lol I need to know what size nut holds the pitman arm on (the big one) I think that's the last part that's going to hold this up. Here's a random pic of the front so far.
