1972 K-20 drag link

I have done some extensive searching and cannot find a suitable answer. Hopefully someone can help. I have what appears to be the "original" drag link in my K20. Does anyone know if the ends of these are replaceable and if so where can I buy new ends? Or, does anyone have a NOS drag link for sale?

Thanks,
Kevin

This looks like the original one piece unit, which does not have replaceable ends. Buy a draglink for a 1973 and up K20, which does have replaceable ends, and is adjustable so you can center up your steering wheel.

NAPA sells all the parts for the adjustable drag link for a K20. I can round up the numbers later today if you want. I just did this on a 71 K20.

Does it have to be NOS? NAPA has them on the shelf still or can get them usually be end of day before close. Anyways, the one I recently bought for my 84 has the end integrated into the joint.

No, It doesn't have to be NOS. I was hoping to retain the original one piece unit.

Check out Rock Auto, most of the parts that I have ordered for my 72 have been cheaper including the shipping than buying them locally.
