It looks like the drag link (the bent and welded silver coloured thing) is going to a steering arm forward of the kingpin. It also looks like the tie rod is forward of the axle. If the axle is early Ford, are the spindles early Ford? If they have been fitted backwards they may have incorrect ackermann angle. This might not be a massive problem, but will cause the tyres to scrub heavily on corners.
The truck is heavily modified. It is what it is. It is a collection of parts put together by someone who may or may not have the required skills. Sitting on top of this collection of parts is a 40 or 41 pickup cab, front end sheetmetal and a bed.
What it is not, is a 41 pickup, so it's hard to offer any advice.
Taking on board that it does drive ok, though, and you are happy to have it and drive it, take a look at the ackermann.
One last observation, the chassis illustrations on Macs site look the same to me, unless I'm missing something. As said, the steering box location in the side rail would tie it to f1 years.
