I bought the kit from Ibeling Repair Service back when I did a conversion on my 68 4X4.
Best investment I ever made. Wasn't to hard to do. Was tougher driving the truck everday with P/S.

A friend of mine did his F250 in the same manner as Greg with one exception.He used a chassis parts manual with component demensions and found 2 ends and a sleeve that made a no weld drag link.

He is a certified welder and could have easily built a welded link but he wanted to use off the shelf parts in case of a future problem.

I'll get the info on what he used and post it in case someone here is interested.
