Re: I'm SO lost on this build regarding steering
Hang in there brother! You have the centerlink installed in the correct orientation and the tierods installed correctly. I found this in another post by VictoriaHardware describing differences over the years in idler and pitman arm lengths. Use it to measure yours to identify it and see what length of arm would cause the correct steering geometry. Lastly, over the years tierods were over different diameters as well with 11/16" rods used for 71-87 and 5/8" rods for the 63-70 model years. Identifying your tierods should identify your spindles and centerlink and allow you to determine if your issue is the idler/pitman arm. I have also heard about issues between frame bracket and steering boxes causing this issue as well. Good Luck!
Pitman Arm length (center line to center line) 60-66 all 5.374" K6086 67 all not 100% sure ? 68-72 manual not 100% sure K6130 68-72 power 5.137" K6131 73-89 manual 5.157" K6142 73-89 power 5.059" K6143 Idler Arm length (center line to center line) 63-66 all 5.9" K14 67-82 all 5.394" K6096T 83-89 all 5.394" K6247T
