Anyone else having a hard time finding a replacement ‘long’ tie rod with the steering dampener connection point close to the actual tie rod end vs the connection point being in the middle?

Thanks for the help,

I guess I’m getting old… Not sure how, after all the work I did, but I totally forgot that I rebuilt and upgraded my axles to 8 lug 2500 axles out of a salvage yard.. but was still searching for the stock tie rods for a 75’… duh…

I do have a separate question though…

Is the stock tie rod the 1-18 thread? Or the 7/8-18 thread?

I’m assuming that this is the thickness of the tie rod plus the thread count…?

What is stock?
