Pitman arm hitting the power steering ram bracket.

I have a 1965 C-10 with V8 and power steering. When we bought the truck we noticed that the steering wheel did not turn right as much as it did when turning left. It was only an inconvenience when parking or needing to make tight turns so it was pushed down on the list of things to do. Today I decided to investigate the problem. When the steering wheel is turned all the way to the right it stops short when the pitman arm hits the bracket that holds the fixed end of the power steering ram. I removed the Pitman arm to confirm that it was centered correctly, and it was. The pitman arm had a curve in it so I thought it might have been installed upside down but the small hole has a taper that keeps it from being flipped over.
Take a look at these photos and let me know if you know what I have here. Maybe wrong parts?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Paul and Rob.
