1956 spendle arm & tie rod

I am looking for a spindle arm if anyone has one. A tie rod would be nice as well but I can order new if I can't.

What you need (I believe) is shown below? I don't see any new ones available, but someone must have the whole spindle with arm in good used shape.

Yes, I'm missing that item. I'm missing the one for the passenger as well if any one has it.
Thanks

The passenger side is not removable IIRC, you'll need the entire spindle. You'd be better off ordering a new HD tie rod from Mid Fifty, they aren't expensive and a lot stronger for use with PS and wide tires than the OEM ones. If you go with a set of used spindles, you should have the king pin bores rebushed and reamed before installing them.

I just called midfifties yesterday about these parts and was told you have none in stock. I've been trying to get this figured out all week but it's hard when the previous owner has thrown everything away.
This is everything I'm looking for.
Toyota 400 steering box kit
drag link
spindle arms
tie rod for drop axle and ends
3" drop axle
King pin bushings


If I can get basically everything from the box to the spindles, I would be a happy man. It is actually a simple system. It's just hard when you are going from nothing.

Wow your right, i just checked with Diane, I am surprised, I pulled one out of there just a few weeks ago, must of sold them all.

We do have a whole stack of passenger side ones with the spindle attached, they are behind that blue barrel on the first picture

But no driver side
