I just picked up a DRW dodge 60. What I'm wanting to know is if the kingpin cap/ steering arm kinda thing on the drivers side would be able to swap to the passenger side and act as a steering arm. I actually don't need a typical steering arm set up, as I will be pushing the wheelbase 2 inches in the front, so the way the stock dodge steering arm is set up where its parallel with the axle tubes would work better than traditional designs that poke out in front. Input would be appreciated, thanks.
 
Anybody?
 
It'll swap from side to side.
 
Also, can anybody give me any tips on getting the pins out that hold the caliper? I've undone the bolt that holds it, but I can't get the pins or plate out for anything.
 
It occured to me that if I don't run a standard steering arm and use the stock dodge arm that runs parallel with the tubes, I will have no turning power because the draglink won't have any leverage. So much for that idea.


And I sheared the head off of one of the pins that hold the calipers. Great.
 
Anybody got any tips on driving the key out of the bottom that holds the caliper? Its the Bendix style if that helps. I can't get that thing out for anything.
