inner tie rod compatibility?
what i have: 70 c20 with 82 c20 spindles.
ok here is my dilemma. i bought outer tie rod ends for the 82 spindles. the threads are larger on the new tie rod. i was wondering if inner 82 tie rods will fit into the ?drag link? (the rod that is in the center) so i can use 82 tie rod sleeves. thanks in advance. sean |

Re: inner tie rod compatibility?
Check the thread direction on the two tie rods.
One needs to be left hand and one needs to be right hand. I believe what you have will be the same "thread direction". www.performanceonline.com sells a tie rod adapter that will connect the '82 outer to you old stuff,... but you have to use '67-'70 "outer" tie rods (as inners) with your '82 outer tie rods. Your 82 outer should be 11/16" diameter and your '70 stuff will be 5/8". Hope this helps.

When they went to disc brakes starting in '71 they made the tie rods bigger and reversed the thread direction. Tom

Re: inner tie rod compatibility?
Thanks guys, just used all this info to order this part for my truck. I tried mixing and matching parts to get my truck on the road. I have a 1966 C10, I used '82 Spindles and brakes. Been driving it for about 8 months. But the steering is always giving me problems. Hope this works!!

Re: inner tie rod compatibility?
Get a 71-72 master cylinder and proportioning valve,... Or do like I did and buy a m/c prop valve combo from performance online.
