Another problematic area here. The way my exhaust comes off the headers is making contact with my pitman arm. Aside from fabricating a new section of exhaust pipe to have enough clearance, can anything else be done? Currently, the bottom of the exhaust comes in contact with the top of the pitman when making a turn and barely clears when cruising straight down the road. This was the previous owners work and went as far as beating a dip into the exhaust to make "clearance." Also, it almost rests on the starter, which is heat soaking the hell out of it I imagine. Can't even get a permanent grease fitting on it.

This is a common problem even with the factory exhaust. The '73+ steering link flipped the joint so the nut on the pitman was on the bottom and turned the outer tie rod end 90°.

Assuming that the pitman isn't damaged, you don't have a lot of options. You could shim the top bolts on the steering box mount, but, that will effect your bump steer too. Since you have a '67 K-frame, swapping to a '73+ steering link isn't an option.
