If your using an original manual steering box you don't need a rag joint. They are to isolate the driver from the vibration of a power steering box. You can use a straight coupler like this.

Any steering box you use in the rear is going to present alot of problems because the shaft is not as long as the original trifive box. My box is a 525 manual box which was used in alot of GM cars like chevelle and camaro. It is stronger than the vega box. My frame has also been cut and a new frame built. Anything you do other than stock is going to present certain problems, but they can be overcome. I went with this setup because it's clean and neat and saves weight and it's simple.
In answer to your question about pitman arms, if you have a rear steer box with the pitman arm facing the front, you can move it to the front of the suspension and reverse the pitman arm and it will work. This is exactly what I did.
