1970 K10 Drag Link bent?

Hi, the picture attached is my 70 k10 original axles drag link. I'm curious if it is bent or if it's supposed to have the curve in it. Thanks for any help!

Definitely bent. Go to rock auto. They have them for pretty cheap. Just bought some ball joints from there that were $35 cheaper than the parts store. Name brand, too.

Thanks guys, blocks are coming off lol! Someone got carried away years ago! I have a 71 Suburban parts frame ill pull the sway bar off of that, it has a drilled hole for a steering stabilizer so I'm wondering if it's for a square body. Time to get the tape measure out!
