As I've mentioned before, I'm putting disc brakes on the front of my 65. I pirated the parts from a 71 gmc 1/2 ton. As I understood it, by swapping the ball joints and outer tie rod ends, these parts would fit. Here's the problem. My 65 tie rod ends are reverse/left hand thread and my 71 tie rod ends are standard/right hand thread. So what do I do about it? Do I need the 71 adjusting sleeve also? Help! Thanks, -Noah
