That's a better picture than I could provide.

"49 & 49a" si the idler, there should be some sort of idler stud taht goes throught he center of it

part #39 si the steerign arm that connects tot he steering box through ti's center hole

the drag link goes between those 2 arms at the front, in their front holes

the tie rods then connect the rear of those 2 amrs to the knuckles at the steering bracket the diagram just shows "see fig 38" but looks liek a steering arm to me

that help at all?

Thanks to all people that try to help ! The theorie is clear that new pic shows only the parts for the a arms... that is all already together that I figured out! but i still have the same problem...for me I need a real photo that shows steering box hooked up to those idler and tie rods to idler etc...how this all looks when installed! It seams nobody had that problem before you are sooo lucky...so if anybody can help me out with a real pic that would be great! Thanks again for trying so hard!!!
