Question about steering geometry?
 
I have just installed a power steering gear box in my 65 and the drag link is not level. Is this a problem? I used a gear box and pitman arm from a 73 C10 and the drag link and idler arm is from the 65, I raised the gear box as high as I could on the frame but the drag link is still higher on the idler arm side.

Thanks

Move the idler arm mounting location so that your drag link is parallel with your x member

It needs to be paralell to the crossmember and as well as even fore and aft, I used the whole steering assy from the later 71 truck on my 62
