Ford tie rods or advance?
I can get all parts from a ford dealer at cost so do you think they last longer than auto parts stores? I just need tie rod ends

What he said!

What's is the price difference b/w ford and Moog? I still think I would go with MOOG. I did with my 302. It was nice knowing it was all done with MOOG.

Go with what the factory makes for your truck.

The Ford stuff is quite durable. I have put about 700k combined miles on the 4 trucks of this vintage I have owned and I have only replaced 1 tie-rod end overall. Never had a ball joint go bad ever.
