I used a drag link not cross steer, I dont know how to upload pics from my phone, will have to wait to use a computer

Yes

It drives good, at first it had too much caster so I put 4 degree shims between the axle and springs. The axle is forged steel not cast iron. The steering box is from a chevy van and the pitman arm is a combination of mopar and chevy.
