WV WTB or WTT: Compete Steering Linkage 71/72

[jessewebb]

Hi Guy's, I'm needing the tie rods and the center bar for a 71 or 72 C/10. If you have the pitman arm I'll take it to. I have the idler arm if its the same as a 69. I have all new tie rod ends and the center bar for a 69 but I have 71-72 spindles. Anyboby have this set up or anyone parting out a 71-72 LMK if your interested in trading or selling. Thanks Pete. Would also be interested in a good leak free PS gearbox. Mine is dripping alil and I'm not up for rebuilding it.

I have a 72 that should have the center drag link. The tie rod ends are there but I would not gaurantee them to be good. As far as what I have been told the pitman and idler arms are the same but I should be able to look them up and be sure. The difference I am being told is that the tie rod end holes are larger on the 71-72. I was also told that they make a tie rod adjuster sleeve that actually lets you use your 69 parts and use these sleeves and a 71-72 outer tie rod end to make it all work.

Thats the way mine is set up right now. I have the 69 tie rods and the 71-72 spindles. I was just going to swap the whole thing out, if I could find one at a reasonable price. I'm going to put drop spindles on. I may need to just keep what I have. I think I can go either way on the drop spindles. I've seen them for 69's and 72's. I tink I'll just order the 69-70 spindles, I have all new tie rods, and idler arm already. Probably be the cheapest way for me. Thanks

There might be someone on here that has the new stuff they are not going to use so you might give it a little time. If you are interested in my used center link just let me know and I will get it checked and some pictures. Good Luck.

I just looked up 69 C10 w/ PS and a 72 C10 w/ PS thru Napa and it shows the same part number for the pitman arm and the idler arm. Manual steering shows a different pitman arm than power steering box.

Thanks Todd, I just ordered the drops for a 70 model, I'm just gonna use what I have it's all new anyway. Probably have to change the ball joints. Maybe not. I'll find out when the drops get here. Thanks for your help
