Adjustable drop drag link is what you need.

Here is a pic of the one on my 69 K20

Re: 1968 k20 needs help with steering correction

you may have the pitman arm clocked wrong...easy check...set steering to straight ahead,remove pitman arm from box,now turn either way to stop and count turns while turnig back,should be about 3 1/2 to 4 turns.now find center of travel in steering box and re-install pitman arm/the pitman arm can be installed in four different positions so find the one that is closest to straight.and as JACK said you should have a drop drag link like the one in the picture good luck
