Post subject:  Pitman Arm Confusion

I am looking to buy a new chrome Pitman arm for the buggy that I'm building. 1970 balljoint front end with 1970 steering gearbox. Do I need the large shaft & small tie rod holes, the small shaft & small tie rod holes, or the small shaft & large tie rod holes?????

I think the one with the large holes is for use with the ford/international tie rod ends but Im not sure.

The spline that slides over the steering box shaft has been the same since about 1961 or so.
The tie rods holes were smaller in the king/link pin and early ball joint era.
The later ball joint had a larger tie rod hole.
