vendor for steering arm?

Does anyone know who sells a steering arm for my 49. I have a dropped axle and was hoping they make a drop steering arm. Havent seen one though. Just wanted to tell you guys thanks for the advice on my steering. I was about to go crazy for awhile.

thanks

I have an extra stock one off a 1950 F1 for cheap if you try to modify yours and it doesnt work out well. Let me know.

I did modify mine slightly and it made a huge difference. I will try and finish it but wasnt sure if it would effect the strength. Ill probably take you up on that spare. Send me all you info and ill get in touch.

If you are using a drop axle there is a tie rod drop kit available from a variety of vendors ( No-Limit, Mid-Fifty, Truck Shop ) that will probably solve your problems . Worth a look

The tie rod drop kit is used to help the tie rod clear the drag link/oil pan with a deep drop axle, typically 4" or more. Try Mid Fifty's new F1 division (I keep forgetting the name, but if you call them I'm sure they can tell you) for the dropped arm.
