A little play in my steering on my 1938 L38

I have noticed some play in my steering and I am thinking that it is something to do with my pitman arm but I am unclear on where I can find one. I have searched the web with little to no luck. If someone has any ideas on where I can find one I would appreciate it.

What steering system is on your car, original? Pitman arms don't usually wear.

I have kept the car almost 100% original. So yeah it is original but I think the owner before me might have hit something hard on the left side and threw it off a little bit. I have completely rebuilt the front end with all new products. That has helped fix the couple things that were broke.

That looks like a good solid car. Does your pitman arm have play, or bent, or the box worn? I don't know what that will cross with but I bet it will be a challenge to find.
