Tie rod bent
The tie rod on my 56 F250 is bent . It looks like someone towed the truck with a chain around the tie rod and axel . I can get it back straight , should I brace it with a peace of angle ? leave it , or get a new solid one . I am trying to keep cost down on this build . Want to get body work and paint, new brake system , and motor all done then drive it before thinking about , different gears , disk brakes, power steering , and seats .

I agree, but I would look for an undamaged one in the meantime. The parts book shows the replacement was changed to a "universal" one, TAAA-3281-A, that works for almost all 53-on models. The tube is 7/8" diameter and 47 -7/8" long, but somehow replaces ones that were various lengths and even 1" diameter ones.
I wouldn't use heat to straighten it.
