Drag Link 2wd vrs. 4wd

I would like to know if there is any difference's in the 1/2 ton 2wd from the 1/2 ton 4wd trucks drag/center links. Here is a ruff drawing of what mine measures out to. Thanks in advance for any help.

Even 1/2 ton VS 3/4 ton 2wd trucks are different. Hole taper is different.

I should have said my truck is a 68 C10 6cyl if that matters and non power steering if that also matters. Also is the Angles different at the points where the Pitman Arm & Idler Arm & the Tie Rod Ends are in relation to each other from the 2wd to the 4wd Trucks, Thanks again in advance

4WD doesn't use parallelogram linkage but rather push - pull with toe rod
