I think you can but your gonna have to move your x member, it will hit under compression. A pitman arm from a late 70's early 80's furd van works. But only with the one ton ends (I'm not sure if it works with the dana 60 tie rod ends but 1 ton draglinks it would). What makes a furd arm work is the fact is its dropped and the indexing has to be correct of which directions the pitman arm is allowed to go. I didnt know this and got the wrong one. Theres a pic somewhere, but basically you want it like this:

A

The latter is more common (of course
)
