Im looking to go crossover on my 72 chev. I'm running the 60 up front. I've been searchin the net and this forum for about 2 months for help and have come up with a few ideas but now I want to see what you guys have done to make your steering cross over. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

I never finished the write up on this job but this link should help you get started. If I ever do this again I would probably use the steering arm from OTT but only because it uses factory studs.

Yeah, I highly recommend using the factory studs, they are 0.53", where the remanufactured studs are only 0.50 at the center, and don't eliminate all the slop.
I just picked up another D60, so I raped it's studs off, and sold it with the ARP studs on it....SCORE :P
I make my own arms, I used 1.5"x3" Stock, tapered to 8.5* (the REAL angle, 10* isn't correct), and tapered the 5 holes for factory studs and tapered nuts. I used a 2" sched 40 butt weld pipe cap for the kingpin cap....works great, looks clean all done on a CNC mill.
