I guess this means the last replacement you ordered was also too short? Crap, I hope my poor REPU doest have to stay up on jack stands too much longer.

The Courier one is the same as the B-series trucks and like them, is about 3" short. Thanks for the idea.

Choices are to have a centerlink off of a 74 B1600 lengthened or send off the old one to Rare Parts to have a new joint installed into the Centerlink.

The center link is just behind the front wheels. It goes from he pitman arm to the idler arm. The pitman arm end of it has a ball and socket joint on it. Do you have a parts REPU or is this just something you might have laying around?
