[CRGRS 66]

The pitman arm is 5-1/4" center to center, and power steering box is mounted as per the captains template.

I have also looked up pictures of the CPP front sway bar installed, and although it is different than the stock style, it is the correct bar andI am convinced that the sway bar is not the problem. If I remove the sway bar, the inner tie rod still interferes with cross member, see the middle picture in post#4. It seems I either need a short pitman arm, or the same pitman arm, but without the offset.

Unfortunately I don't have the original steering box and pitman arm.

I wonder if the gear box itself is the issue, is the location of the output shaft different from year to year? See where the output shaft is, roughly in the middle of the gear box, should the output shaft be further towards the front of the truck?

Thanks again to everyone for posting your thoughts and suggestions.
