Will 73 and up tie rods fit a 68 center link?

Nice, I figured I’d have to tweak the length due to a different orientation and drop. Do you know off hand if the pitman arms are the same through the years? I have a manual box.

Pitman arms are different 68-72 and 73-76. With a manual steering box the output shaft has the same diameter, but the ball joint was flipped. 68-72 points up (the nut is on top of the center link), 73-76 points down. If you use a 68-72 center link you need to use a 68-72 pitman arm and idler.

68-72

73-76
