Tie Rod Ends

Sorry about the abundance of noob questions, I'm new to this era truck. Having problems getting the outer tie rods for my truck. All of the parts stores around me have the left one but don't even list a right? Are these the same part? I have a 1975 F-250 Ranger SC long bed 390ci 2wd

Well, there is a inner and outer for the left, then the right side is a drag link. Might as well buy the adjusting sleeve as well. I think mine was like $150 for all of it.

Smh I didn't even think about that, thanks. I've had this truck sitting in my back yard for years, I'm coming over from the early 2000's pickups. Not used to being this noobish lol

i had to argue with the parts guy for a bit to get him to look at drag link. It is a bit different.

They just opened an AZ less then a mile from my house, the next closest store is 15miles, and those guys are less then simpletons. The manager had to be explained the difference in the bearings for the axle at the hub and the pinion.

Are these the same part?
No, the tie rods ends are right & left specific, plus there's two possible lefts and rights.

I have a 1975 F250 Ranger SC long bed 390ci 2wd
TWO different Super Cab tie rod ends, depends if the GVWR is: 6300/6600/6900/7500 lbs. or 8100 lbs.

I need the GVWR to list the part numbers/applications.

D2TZ-3304-A .. Draglink-see parts catalog applications.

GVWR stamped on the 3rd line-far left of the Warranty Plate-located on the left door face below the latch.
