I own a 1933 PD and wanted to know the original diameter of the Pitman Arm Ball, mine is totally egg shaped....

If you don't get a reply after a while, let me now and I will go and pull the drag link on my car to measure the pitman arm ball diameter. Though I suspect that mine is no longer perfectly round too, just not enough to be really noticeable with the naked eye.

That sounds pretty big for the ball at the end of the pitman arm. I guess I need to pull the drag link off mine and measure it.

I have a complete steering wheel, column, gearbox, and pitman arm from a 33 in storage.  I Measured the ball with a caliper at 1" diameter, if that helps at all.

Does anybody know the diameter of the sector shaft at the toothing for the pitman arm ?
Are there interchangeable pitman arms ?

From Plymouth Master Parts List book, PC and PD have same part number, earlier years are different part numbers.  I dont know how 34 or later fit
