Re: where to buy draglink
Have you thought about just getting cross over steering?

Re: where to buy draglink
Google crossover steering. There are two ways to do it. One is to replace the passenger steering knuckle, and the steering rod goes from the box to the passenger side. The other way attaches to the passenger side tie rod. I am doing the first one to my 69.
It eliminates that nasty bump steer on lifted chevys. Its a much better way to do it. http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/Dana44crossover.htm |

Re: where to buy draglink
I'm surprised those big box auto spores are that lame (maybe not surprised). Go to a real parts store like Napa. That's crazy to go to all the work and expense of crossover steering when all you need are common replacement parts.

Re: where to buy draglink
like Tim says, Moog still makes/sells squarebody drag links. try rockauto.com if the local clowns can't figure out how to open the catalogs.

Re: where to buy draglink
Your local parts stores should have those parts. Or the next day at least.

Re: where to buy draglink
Talk to a counter man that doesn't have his head up his ......., the same drag link parts fit from 71-91 with either a d44, 10b, or a dana 60.

Re: where to buy draglink
search the net for WFO Concepts...they have all the stock replacement parts for your drag links...stock chevy link end
7/8" - 18LH thread P/N ES2027L Length - 6.5" Taper length - .690 Major / minor diameter - .791x772 Thread Diameter - .875x18tpi Thread Length - 2.5" here's mine with a DOM Tube they made for me with jam nuts instead of the compression sleeve. This will hold me over until i go crossover steering, but this heavy duty DOM tube can take a beating and fit like a glove.
