I love it when a plan comes together! I went out and finished the steering linkage and it went together perfectly. Almost like I had planed it from the get go. When I think back about it I can remember thinking about tossing the Lincoln's steering linkage into the pile for recycling but then going no I might need it. I didn't need much of it but it was the one special part that I needed to hook the 02 to the 72. So dang I'm glad it kept it.

Here is the Lincoln's steering linkage and the 02 F150 linkage. I cut a small part out of the Lincoln's that had the half round on one end and the tube on the other. Then I cut off the end of the F150 linkage that fits into the slip shaft. Slid them all together, drilled holes through and then bolted them together for mock up.

I then cut the end off of the 72 steering column and drilled a hole in it, and then slid the sleeve over it and bolted it all together.

So I will leave it bolted together for now and once I have a chance to make sure there is no binding and it all works right I will then weld the sleeve to the 72 shaft and call it done.
