Re: 55-59 adjustable drag link, tie rod end help

Have you got part numbers for the ends you need?

The rod ends in the Speedway link you gave above fit 78/80 or so G body GM cars. It looks like you may be stuck with those as the earlier GM cars seem to take a 11/16 thread rather than the 5/8 thread that your rod takes.

I saw that O'Reilly's has their budget tie rod ends that match those for about 12 bucks or you can take the Moog parts number and go on Ebay and find some Moog ends for about 15 bucks including shipping from guys who buy out old stock.You might also check Amazon on the Moog parts numbers.
