Suspension help, draglink backwards?

Anyone know by the pics if the drag link is flipped? I had it on the other way and the alignment shop i took it to flipped it. Which way is right? Thanks, Bo

That is backwards.
The castle nuts on the inner tie rods go in front of the centerlink.

Yours appears to be bent also.

Is that link from a 63-66? I wonder if the 60-62 are different? If they are the same mine certainly does look bent . Bo

The '63-'70 C10 draglinks are straight as in the pic lowlife99 posted. The C20's and C30's had a curved draglink. I don't remember for sure, but I think the '60-'62's were curved as well. I would have to look when at the shop tomorrow.
