Default '36 never ending steering problem!

My '36 has a CE front end with '40 dropped axle, reversed eyes, dropped steering arms and split wishbone. The drag link is a '36. Couldn't get the steering centered so filed the '36 pitman arm so I could make it rotate to wherever I wanted it. Installed pitman arm pointing straight forward with the box centered, now I can't make a full right turn because tie rod end on the drag link hits the wishbone. Had a '40 pitman arm but it has upward "dog leg" that makes the '36 drag link hit the bottom of the pan. Is the solution '37-'40 drag link?
