Steering set up ?s

I have a 78 f250 and the pitman arm goes out to the side, and the draglink goes strait back to the drivers side steering knuckle. The only thing going across the axle is the tierod. I have never seen this set up before. Just wondering how common it was and what years they did that?

I have a d44hd up front, if I want to go to a one ton d60, do I have to change the whole steering over also?
