Drag Link repair kit with dust cover. Can't find

[Brandon 348/320]

I am rebuilding my front end on my 6o Impala and will be putting back together shortly. I can't seem to find a drag ling repair kit with the dust cover. Several places show the kit, but I have not seen any with the cover.
I would not be opposed to a used cover, but mine was bent when I had to use a pickle fork to wedge the connection apart. Thanks for any help.

You can fix your shield with a little work but if you were to switch to the 63-64 drag link you could eliminate that sloppy joint.

Dan, don't you have to swap to the 63-64 idler & pitman arms when you switch to that drag link? Or can you just swap the centerlink and that's it?

Yes you do have to use the complete 63-64 pitman and idler. It's a way better system.

Thanks Dan.

Brandon, I agree with Dan on the 63-64 set-up being a better system. I think it's just less room for slop and a more positive connection. If you aren't going for a 100% restoration, then I'd upgrade now. I am planning on going that way with my own soon.

Just so you know you never want to use a pickle fork on boot's or anything you don't want to destroy, or it will put you in a pickle!!!!!

They sell a kit that includes the pitman and idler arm, I think the cost is 130.00 as I just put it on my 61'. It's cheaper then purchasing the part indevidualy.
