Drag link 1945 1/2 ton pickup

[D. Jones]

I need to replace/repair the drag link on my 45 1/2 ton, the fixed ball end is loose. I've done a search here and looked at many posts and it appears there is no good solution. Some seem to suggest that a kit from Speedway was the answer but, all the kits I saw were for a straight tie rod or drag link, mine has a step or bend so, it appears to me, a straight one would have the ball setting at an acute angle. Am I missing something or am I just not seeing the correct solution?
