What is it??? Where to get it????

Hey guys Im afraid Ive created some confusion. I am attempting to change the power steering system on my 67 from the old ram style (Vette style) to the more conventional power gear box system. I am aware of some issues with the frame and bumper brackets and I am prepared to do whatever it takes to complete the job. My big issue now is with the drag link or relay rod,Im not sure which is the right name,Im talking about the rod that the inner tie rods attach to and also the pitman arm. Since I had the old ram style power steering this rod on my truck is different,I need to find one of these rods from a 67(or whatever year will work??) that had manual steering before I can proceed. Can anybody help me locate this part or at least tell me the real name of it. Thanks Todd

I always called it the center link. I may have one but I won't be back at the shop till monday. Anyone from a 67-70 will work for you.

Yes I did my front disc brake conversion last year. Bought the kit and bolted it right in.

If you need one I've got a 69 manual center link for free. You pay the shipping and it's yours. Let me know.
