I wanted the patch to look like a tank patch and stick out so I went with the protruding heads, plus no bucking bar could fit on those top ones if I went countersunk. Figure this thing is a brick anyways a few rivet heads isnt going to change that LOL

They make countersunk cherry locks. 100* countersink just like the AN426.

Though similar a it is not a TRUE cross over steering which the D60's do not have wither they use a semi cross over....the tie rod does not go the the RIGHT hand knuckle and then a drag link from the R knuckle to the L knuckle...that would be a true cross over...having the tie rod cross down to the drag link is an inverted T style IIRC and dodge used an inverted Y which IIRC is what the TTB use...

Two completely independent tie rods are what makes a true cross over...

Now maybe your confusing cross over and HI steer ????

Take a lookee here and see for your self what I mean

Thanks for the link. It seems that the definitions on the internet are occasionally different from each other. PBB has a lot of good tech sections. I know when I was researching the long travel TTB that picture was what they were referring to when they said crossover.

put some 2" spacers on the front and add a f350 pitman arm. also i was looking through some parts i had and found a 4wd f150 pitman arm, which ended up the same as the f350 4wd one i have.

Gotta 4 link it. Really its not that hard in concept but getting all the lengths right so it rides good takes some know how.

Pretty much a line up, drill holes and bolt them in. Needs different brake lines and a larger taper on the Pittman arm. Shoot me a pm with your email address and ill find you a few links.
