All '35-'48 spindles require a bottom mounted tie rod ends (except the '41). Both the 11A and 78 arms are 1.25" longer than the 48. If you use an 11a or 78 you will find a hard turn to the right will cause the pitman arm to hit the left wishbone. A hard turn to the left and the drag link will hit the oil pan. Stay with the 48.

Hope this helps.

Sorry im not trying to be a pain, but youre saying run my stock 1935 (48-) pitman arm? The reason I bought a 1941 drag link is my square back spindle is drilled taper down like in this pic, is this not correct?

Thanks Kevin
