Re: Tie rods won’t fit new CPP spindles???

When I started my 87' C10 build, I bought some CPP parts. The fitment was pretty poor, when I contacted them for help I basically got a "we have heard that before" response and no further assistance. It sounds like others have had similar experiences from what I read over the years. Their magazine ads sure look nice though.

My response was usually, "We have sold xx number of these and have never heard that before."
