Pitman arm

I,ve got a 73-79 f250 with 525k on it , I,m about to put my second drag link on & the slop seem to be at the pitman arm joint. Should I replace the arm too & if so does anyone know where I can get one for a 79 frame? The truck has it's 3rd 300 6 in it. 2nd rear end 2nd stearing box & still gets me where ever I need to go!
