The Ford Barn

just purchased a 1941 ford super deluxe and found a set of brand new, still in the unopened boxes, spindles and kingpins. look to be the standard set from Speedway. might be these:

the steering is kind of wonky, and i'm going to assume (although i will be pulling the wheels and checking if they are needed or not) that they were to be installed to remedy that.

anyway...there are no steering arms on the new spindles and the steering arms on the car are part of the spindle casting, meaning that if and when i replace the old spindles i will have no steering arms and so will need to purchase a couple arms that with fit the new spindles and the old tie-rod ends. Speedway does offer a few choices. but...

the question i have is do i need to buy something along the lines of these?

BTW, it's not mandatory, but i would like to make use of the new spindles and kingpins in the trunk and like the idea that the bushing are already installed and reamed to fit.
