Inner tie rod holes
Can anyone give me the hole measurements for the inner tie rods on a 70 drag link vs 71-72?

Re: Inner tie rod holes
FWIW...I'm not sure what the diameter the holes are but they are a tappered fit. I believe all of the drag links (1/2 ton) on these trucks are the same unless you have the ram steering assist.

Re: Inner tie rod holes
if u have questions let me know... that picture should clarify.. the 5/8 and 11/16 are tie rod end thead sizes../ the taper idk. but they are all different.because u would need to by a specific draglink/centerlink for your specific yr / they make custom sleeve for this between yrs. im not shure what u are trying to achieve? with taper holes..

Re: Inner tie rod holes
I just bought a 1971 centerlink form a fourm member.had it laying around. the holes sizes for the inner taper are 5/8 and 1/2 ruffle.. I tryed the outters for a test fit from the 70 and 71 both where close fit but the 71 has more taper..

Re: Inner tie rod holes
Thank you very much sir. Looks like I purchased a 67-70 drag link by accident. Really appreciate the info

Re: Inner tie rod holes
I had problems figure this out from by one off CL. same thing i ordered 71 spindles.. but didn't match. story short what I end up buying off cl was a +73 box end to end steering.. it bolted up just fine just had to switch out the outers for 1971
