Im finally converting my 65 C10 to front disc. I'm using donor 83 c10 spindles.

My problem, The outer tie rod ends.. On my 65 the tie rod end threads are 5/8. On the 83 they are 11/16 thread. The 65 tie rod end adjusting sleeve wont expand enough for the 83 TR end to screw in...

I can't find any parts sites that give these measurements. Are 5/8 thread TR ends available for 83 spindles? I'm ready to make my own, but thought I'd ask first....

Thanks
