I am glad to see that I am not the only person on this list with the power 
steering modification.  I think I saw something like this in the Chevy Duty 
catalog as well.  One thing that sticks to mind is that by relocating the 
power steering box presents a problem with tire rubbing (wide tires).

However, my dilemma is that I have aquired the truck with this modification 
(similar to Brothers' 47-59 Stage 1 Kit) and require new link ends (old 
ones are getting worn).  I do not know where this kit was aquired (several 
vendors) and as a result am aprehensive about buying replacement ends from 
the unknown.

Q:  Does anyone know if the link ends are a common off-the-shelf part and 
can I get them at a local auto parts store?
