I think you're right , haven't tried it also , but looks like it will work in my old chassis parts dimension catalogues.

Anyone try this yet? I am using 73-87 drop spindles and 67 C20 center link. Would like to go with off the shelf parts but am having no luck with the 73-87 inner tie rods.

From what I can tell , the astro stud is to small for the c20 hole. The book dimensions on 73-87 inner 1/2 ton is allmost identical (.020 difference on taper lenght) to your 67 c20. I have used a 72-72 c20 centerlink on a 69 c10 conversion , but not your specific center link. Do 73-87 inners not fit the centerlink?

Just called and ordered my sleeves from DCA racefab

11/16-18 is RH (right hand) and the 5/8-18 is left hand. The length for these trucks is 5-1/4"

I am running 68 outers and 72 inners. probably going to have to switch them around like previous people done on this thread

Mjminino,

How did those tie rod sleeves work with the specs you posted above?
