That's the one that bolts onto the sector shaft, right, and goes to the draglink?
Do I need a factory one, aftermarket, or ... ?

Ah, yes, I see some mention of that.
I should be specific and say I'm doing this on a 10-bolt, not a D60. (Freaking MountainExplorer has all the D60's on the west coast, methinks!)
I also see some folks are using a Superlift one which is stretched for lifted trucks ... should I use stock Ford or lifted?

how much lift? and i have ord complet stuff and thay both look like lifted arms. you want to keep the drag link close to leavel.
p.s. i have all the 60s on the east coast. i have 4 now

I used a pitman arm off a 70's 1-ton ford van and retapered it to fit a chevy TRE. Pitman cost $8 and reamer was under $40 shipped (from xkut on ebay).
This pitman arm has just enough drop to clear the frame and works great with my 4" of lift up front.

Well, conveniently I've been meaning to call them for the arms and machine work ... looks like they'll be my one-stop shop.
Thanks again!

Mines from the WFO Kit and it's for a 90's Wrangler.

Are you using drag link ends or tie rod ends?

I have the WFO one that is the ford 4" lift arm, (1104), and am having interference issues with my hi-steer tie-rod. I called over, they're shipping me a new arm thats an inch shorter that should solve my problems, not sure what the app is. Almost any arm that fits will work if you're keeping the tie-rod down low.

Not to completely hijack my own thread, but Triaged, what kinda bumpstops are those? Are they factory for '81+, cuz they don't look anything like the ones on my '74.

So when I buy a crossover steering kit will it have a pitman arm for a Ford in it? That would almost keep me from doing the whole thing, id be terrified to put a Ford part on something as important as steering, my truck would probably reject it lol.
