Racecar style tie rod
I have a 70 gmc c25, I plan on lowering this truck with 73-87 drop spindles. I know you have to switch the tie rod ends, I was thinking to go with new racecar style tie rods with hiem joints. Has any one done this? What size bolt come on the 73-87 tie rod ends? Is every thing the same (tie rods) on a 70gmc 3/4 ton as 73-87 3/4 ton besides the end that attach to the spindle?
Thanks. |

Heims ends aren't tolerant of grit and grime. The ball is exposed to all the elements under the truck rather than encased inside the unit like a normal tie rod end. If you don't encase it somehow, the heim won't live very long on the street.
