Are you talking about and already straight axle truck, or one you want to do a straight axle on?? They are close anyways. Tie rod goes between your front wheels, so when one turns the other goes the same way. Drag link goes from the steering box to the pitman arm, which pushes and pulls the tires to turn. What exactly are you looking for??
