Default Re: Why is there a need for an Adjustable Drag Link?

Brent, The steering column for the F-100 box, as used in the vehicles they were designed for, has a different angle. I think it was tilted down more. This puts the pitman arm at an angle that is not straight up and down, like the Model A box.

The box could probably be modified but the easy way is just to use the adjustable drag link. I have never seen or heard of the box being modified. An aftermarket pitman arm with the correct orientation would be the way to go, if you wanted to spend the money.
