How do I distinguish if my truck has a standard or reverse pitman arm? Its a 49 deluxe with 3 on the tree all original 3100 . Called Summit to order the PSK and they need to know which Pitman Arm I have. Any help is greatly appreciated.

which kit are you looking at? power assist or a box swap?

I've never knowingly seen a reverse stock style pitman arm but wish I had had one when I put the V8 in and moved the box out.

I am looking at the CPP4759PSK-S500 from Summit. Has everything I need to convert to power steering with a new steering box.

no sure what they mean about reverse pitman arm. I would think its a standard arm you have, it looks like all the others I've seen

Spoke to CPP tech and he said the Standard is for Original and Reverse would be for dropped or lowered. Ships 6/28.

Yep. http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...59PSK-S500.htm

Keeps the drag link closer to level.

That's the one I ordered. Comes with the 500.
