There are a million combinations of available parts that will work and it is only basic rocket science so even a cave man can figure it out.
In the case of the F100 pitman arm, it has a master spline that controls where it can be installed on the shaft. If you file this spline tooth away with a small file, the arm can be installed at any orientation in small enough increments to center the steering.

This is highly detailed and correct. The adjustable link is not necessary.
