Tie or drag link? If it is drag link I suspect it is supposed to be as my 52 B3B is OEM bent.

Put a 3.73 Ford 8.8 and a chev s10 t5 trans and do 75 all day long!

I looked and never found so I re-drilled and tapped existing bolt holes for studs.

scroll down this thread....I found that a Jeep YJ PS setup works great

T5 will absolutely transform your truck! Simple swap well documented here. Full sync with overdrive is so much more drive-able.

https://www.allproautomachine.com/ They did a good job drilling and installing studs in my bell housing for T-5 swap.

I did Scarebird disc conversion up front and a disc brake Ford 8.8 rear end. Stops great with no booster.

I replaced the rear end in my 52 b3b with a Ford Explorer 8.8 limited slip disc brake rear. Great fit.

I've got some rear brakes for you off a 52 B3B. PM me and I'll send you pics. Styles

Almost everything on our trucks were self grounded. The lights are single pigtail grounded through the fixture as opposed to dual pigtail with a power wire and a ground wire. Starter is effectively the same.

On my 52 I have added power steering, T5 5 speed, Scarebird front disc’s, Ford 8.8 rear end(3.73 gear instead of 4.10 and disc rear brakes and parking brake). I find I do not need booster. This was my preference as opposed to frame swap. Regards, Styles

Probably worth trying Permatex Ultra Black gasket maker before you remove the pan.

Pertronix

just get 2 alligator clip leads and check them using your battery to be sure
