DM rack steering lineage pics

[Jayschevy]

My DM came in yesterday and I'm planning on installing it this weekend. However, I'm still not 100% sure how to hook up the steering linkage. I'm hoping that someone has some pictures of there linkage set-up. Showing how they installed everything and their u-joint location. I have a 71 C10 and it came with 2 u-joints. Any help or photo's would be appreciated. Thanks

I can get a pic later(trucks at home) or if you look on my build thread its on page 7 post 160(side shot of engine that you can see the setup). Basically just one joint on the rack and one on the column. The angle looks extreme, but it is smooth.

Thanks, that just what I needed to see. I thought that was how it needed to go but wasn't sure.

Which Dropmember do you have?
I believe the Extreme Dropmember will work with 2 joints.
But the Mild and Touring Dropmembers require 3 joints.

Thanks lolife99, what's the piece called that is holding the brake line on your upper control arm? Looks good.
