The whole setup looks like it was designed to use a Saginaw box mounted to the inside of the frame rail and standard G body steering links with maybe longer tie rod ends or sleeves if needed. I can't find any link to the maker of the crossmember to find that out even though it does appear they make several setups for different rigs.

If it were me I'd notch the crossmember with a piece of tubing or rounded piece of steel to straighten out some of that steering link.
I see what your talking about, The steering shaft isn't fix to that position its just laying there, We put it on so we could get an idea of where it would go when the engine is set in.
