Default Looking for pitman arm for Toyota PS box swap

Hi folks. I'm looking for a pitman arm that would work with a Toyota steering box swap in my '52 Merc M1. Mid-Fifty shows them on their website, but they don't have any in-stock and don't have any idea when they will again. They suggested I call CPP, and they don't seem to have any either, and I can't find any other supplier that has them. If you have one, or know where I can get one, let me know. PS: Worst case scenario I will make my own using the splined end of the Toyota pitman arm, but I'd still need to find the 1" ball fitting that would have to be welded in. If you know where to find this 1" ball fitting (like pictured), let me know. Thanks for looking.

Pictures on the Mid-Fifty website linked below:

You can buy a weld in style ball from any model A supplier, or one that sits in a 7* taper with a nut for 32 34 drag link

I replaced my pitman arm when I rebuilt the box and it came with the proper ball....... however, I also replaced the ball on the steering arm and that was "probably" the same spline diameter diameter and definitely the same ball diameter as the one on the pitman.
