Pitman arm question

When I put the V8 in my '53 I had to shift the steering box away from the exhaust manifold using 3/4" spacers. This now puts the drag link on an angle instead of being parallel to the frame. Is there a straight pitman that will mate to the splines on the steering box and the tie rod style drag link I use?

Re: Pitman arm question

Don't know if there is a straight arm or not. I just heated the pitman arm & bent it back till the drag link was parallel with the frame. Its been that way for over 30 years & no problems
