Hi all!

I have a problem...!

I change from drum to disc at the front. So i baught a drop slindle from a c10 bj.84.

i ordered tie rodends for a c10 Bj.72-86 (outer ends) in the inner ends i orderd for my 1970.

My problem is now that the outer tie rod ends have an 11/16 thread and the inner tie rod ends have an 5/8 thread!

Where can i get a tie rod sleeve that have an 11/16 and an 5/8 thread ???

Or what else can i do???

Regards

Sascha

The German,... here's a picture of the PerformanceOnLine tie rod sleeves I have on my 69.
I sent you a PM with the part numbers.
Just remember,... you have to use 67-70 outer tie rods,... in the inner tie rod location. (The thread "direction" of the tie rods changed after 1970)

Hey guys,
I've got a similar problem. The PO put on a '95 suspension, so the tie rod stud is too thick. I'm trying to figure out if a '67 (what I've got) will bolt in, but it looks like the '95 uses the 11/16 thread. So I'm wondering what the part number for that sleeve is, and if you've got any experience with whether that setup (or anything else will work)? I've already changed the ball joints, and made a couple minor grinder-related adjustments to the control arm which I'll post later. Trying not to sink a ton more money into this thing right now ... Thanks!

Are you sure they are '95 parts?
I've never heard of using '88-'98 suspension parts on these trucks.
Can you explain exactly what you have?
Pics would be even better.
