Thanks for that info. Galaxy Green is the color, though it has been painted since then but if I can get her steering fixed I'll probaby see if I can't get her back to original.

I will take a closer look for tags on Tuesday (long weekend up here!!) as the truck is at my buddy's shop waiting for me to get the right part.

Cheers!

There is only one draglink.

Parts catalog says one end is adjustable, and there's a sample pic that shows how Ford arrives at the 14 1/2" length.

14 1/2 inches is not the overall length, because...

The dragink is measured from the center of the stud...then to the center of the opening on the adjustable end.

This means the draglink is at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches longer, and if the end has been adjusted outwards on yours, add another 1/2 inch or so.

Call one of the sources I listed that has the draglink and ask them to measure the overall length. Take into account yours may have been adjusted.
