Steering Center Link differences - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck is a 67 with later 80’s spindles. It has a power steering box like a 68-72. From my research the idler arms are all the same. The tie rod holes in the 67 center link are too small for the 80’s tierods. Should I look for a late 80’s center link to replace the 67 one and use 80’s tie rods or what have others done who are running later suspension?

I would bet the answer to your question is here. Scroll about halfway down for 67-72 truck specific information.

Call Lares steering. They will walk you through identifying your steering box.
