64 K10 Drag Link

Does anybody know of any other options for a replacement drag link for a 64 K10? (Other than the RP27769 Rare Parts replacement?) GM part number 3854943 which has not been available for a number of years is impossible to find.

Thanks for any help...

This is the only available replacement I found and it sells for around $300

Re: 64 K10 Drag Link

You could make a new one by welding two together, using currently available ones. Moog master parts book should list them by size. Will try to get a photo of one made that way, should be in a pile on the back 40. Need to do some research, kind of remember some newer Ford parts will work, maybe late 60s or early 70s. Their are other members here who really remember this stuff better.

Found photos, not exactly what you need, however, this is from a stock '64 style steering gear box to a newer Dana 44 front axle '79. The same concept could work for you. The one pictured uses late 70s Ford F-250 parts per member "obijuan". Possible could PM him with your question / best parts to use to make one.

Photo, showing the welded made up linkage, know not the best looking. You could make more stock looking by choosing certain parts.

Any idea what the part numbers are on those tie rod replacement ends?
It wouldn't be hard for me to make something up, that is heavy duty and adjustable

Re: 64 K10 Drag Link

If needed, have original Dana 44 out of '64 K10 right now and can photo one end and measure. May take a day or two. Let me know?

Thanks for all the responses, but unfortunately I do not have those part numbers.

Re: 64 K10 Drag Link

I built for my power steering conversion. the small tie rod fits in the steering arm with the right taper. the big tie rod end goes in to my pitmen arm on the p/steering box. don't know if the taper is the same on your set-up. go the Napa parts and they have the spes on these i think.

Re: 64 K10 Drag Link

I would say 2234R as it's a smaller box.
