Help.... :(

Ok i need a new pitman arm and tie rods. They finaly are wearing out on me according to the mechanic and i dont need them breaking on me. Here is my problem. Some dingle berry did a half a$$ job putting parts together on this truck before so idk what parts i need due to it being a 74 highboy, with a 78 front end (for the discs). Here are some pics to help identify what they look like.

Anyone know if broncograveyard has them or where else i can order them from. And i REFUSE to feal with LMC so i dont wana hear about them. Thanks

FTE sponsor "Rock Auto" is the best for the $$.

Thanks! But my problem is idk what year all these parts came from.... The tire rods from end to end measure 21", and this pitman has a curve to it and isnt straight like this one from JBG
Drop Pitman Arm F250, F350

Wonder if numberdummy can solve this one.

I would say since "they" used a 78/79 for the disk brake conversion, maybe look into that year of replacement parts? Maybe a parts store parking lot comparison would work?

Best of luck on this one.

Will tie rod ends from a newer truck work? I basically need two tie rod ends and the cramp thing for the middle that connects them.
