'73-87 center link geometry - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I'm swapping '73-87 front suspension components into my '64 C10. I have the bigger '73-87 center link to go in with the later model tie rods and everything.

My question is- I noticed when I laid the '73-87 center link alongside my original center link, the '73-87 link is about 1" shorter overall. When I install it onto my pitman and idler arms, both now point more towards each other instead of being parallel like before. Is this a problem? Do the '73-87 C10s have different/enhanced steering geometry?
