WTB: Drag Link Part - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**402Bowtie** · 05-18-2005, 04:35 PM

I'm looking for the drag link that connects to the pitman arm. It measures 6.34" inches long. Does anyone have a new one they want to sell? It will go on a 1972 K20. Thanks....John

I'll check to see if mine is any good and post on here.

Tiresmokin · 05-18-2005, 09:05 PM

Guess my set up is different than yours. I have a centerlink attached to the pitman arm. Approx 34 inches long. Sorry

**402Bowtie** · 05-18-2005, 10:02 PM

no problem smokin...I'll keep looking

Is your's a 2wd?

Tiresmokin · 05-18-2005, 10:59 PM

Yes.

**402Bowtie** · 05-20-2005, 12:10 AM

This part is for a 4wd.
Rage'nrat: Here is the section I need. Here is a lousy pic showing a similar setup. It shows the steering sector and the three sections of the drag link. I only need the rear section that connects to the pitman arm. As mentioned earlier it measures 6.34 inches long. Thanks....John

The part you have circled is the left outer tie rod end. Shouldn't be too much at Autozone.....
I just checked at Autozone.com, it is $6.99 to $12.99 depending on brand. Your tie rods are the same as mine 2WD & 4WD.

*72longbed* · 05-20-2005, 08:54 AM

I just replaced all parts of my stock drag link on my 71 K20 and I don't think you will find the 'correct' part that you are looking for for less than $27.00. The correct end for your drag link is not the same as a 2wd truck tie rod.

Check twice before you buy, beware of the parts counter idiots.

I got em in NOS if interested....I have both ends actually in NOS.

Only took this pic afew days ago.

PM your offer.

Rod · 05-20-2005, 11:20 AM

Actually here I went out and took this pic just now...lots of NOS all GM front 4x4 parts here for sale. More stuff not even in pics too. Might start a new thread.
Spindles are newer then 72. Rod

*72longbed* · 05-20-2005, 02:47 PM

Rod, the spindles in the pic, are they LARGE bearing spindles? Are they NOS or used? What years will they fit? How much do you want for them? I'm interested in buying them. What other 4x4 front end parts do you have?

Thanks,
72longbed

Rod · 05-20-2005, 07:10 PM

It's all NOS GM. I belive those are large spinndle bearing one...like 73 up.

Numebers on the tie rod end boxes are 362297...those are correct for the 70 up steering. Could use those on the older ones too...I have the coupler NOS for those steering tie rod ends too.

362298 is the longer steering one.

Rod · 05-20-2005, 07:14 PM

Here's the tape measure pic beside the shorter one...I can't stand on my head and type though.

Rod · 05-20-2005, 07:17 PM

I have the bar that goes all the way across too..NOS and the tie rod ends NOS for that too.

Got NOS springs for inside the hubs ..gotta run the numbers on those yet..not sure if there for the big spicer hubs or newer ones.

Rod · 05-20-2005, 07:19 PM

I got odd stuff too.like 73 up NOS door hinges...NOS dimmer switches on floor...NOS wiper switch 73 up....bunch of stuff yet.
