I have two from a 1956 Ford F-100. Both of them have wear on the ball though. What I used instead was a pitman arm from a 1 1/2 ton '56 Ford truck. Same size and spline shaft, larger diameter ball and longer arm. I also used the rear section of the drag link to fit the ball. The extra length was good to have as I had to bend the pitman arm out and down to clear the split radius rods on my '28 Ford Closed Cab Pickup. I installed the '56 Ford F-100 steering to replace a Mustang box the previous owner had installed. Wrong box for split radius rods. '56 box works excellent.
