I'm just looking at the geometry in my head.

That Ford 4x4 reverse rot box w/ pitamn forward, turn the column right would push the right wheel right.

Now re-clock the pitman to nine o'clock. Turn column to right will pull drag link forward. turn left front wheel to teh left.

And the Dodge 4x4 std rot box is much more common than the reverse rotation one that we've all used in the past. Though as I recall, to use the stock drag link, the left shock has to be moved to the rear of the axle. And I'm still a bit skeptical that the tire will not rub on hard right turns and bumps. So I'm still liking the reverse rotation box on top of the frame with M37 linkage. Less frame hacking and plenty of give in the input shaft design.
