Is that a stock van pitman arm that is machined to accept the bigger superduty ball joint or is the arm from something else? The 99 truck arm is longer than the van and makes it hard to turn at a dead stop.

Please know that the "ball peen" comment was not a reflection on your craftsmanship in any way.
Your build looks awesome!
