Question Replace tie rod ends, drag link?

Looking for some advice, please. There is slight wear at one end of the drag link and one tie rod end, so I'd like to replace everything before I have the front end aligned. This is on my '72 K20 and is all OEM.

Near as I can tell, I need inner and outer ends plus an adjusting sleeve for the drag link, and left & right side tie rod ends. Probably AC Delco or Moog -- your thoughts? Doesn't seem to be rocket science but I'd like to get the right parts the first time .

Also, any tips for doing the job? I *might* get lucky and separate the parts with a hammer, but a pickle fork sounds like the better choice, especially considering these parts haven't been touched since the truck was built. Is any special size pickle fork needed? NAPA lists a 21/32" cheapie ($7).

I appreciate any input -- thanks, guys!
