71 C-10 Drag/Center Link
 

The drag/center link is worn on my 71 C-10 so I thought that was easy enough. I went to several local parts stores and no one had one and they also could not order it. So I came home and got on the internet and no one carries the drag link. What I thought would be easy has turned out not so easy. Any suggestions?

The drag link isn't repopped, a used one is the only option. Search Craig's List and the Parts Board here, as well as local junkyards. If you were a Site Supporter you could post a WTB.

I didn't know that, rough deal. Suppose when mine quites it's porterbuilt dropmember & rack & pinion time.

Don't have a pic in my photobucket library but the drag/center link is the bar that extends from side to side connecting the steering linkage. Look under your truck (below your radiator) you'll see the bar

The center drag link is a non wearing part. The idler arm or pitman arm is a wearing part so what is worn on yours?

It appears the bolt on the driver's side was not tight and it wollered out the hole.

Try a place called "RARE PARTS", in northen Ca. I think they have them.

There's a lot of trucks being parted out in the parts section of this forum. I'd be looking there.

I actually tired "RARE PARTS" and they do not have it. I went the Charlotte Auto fair today, $35 for a used one.
