Tie rods

Whats up with differnt parts listed for super cabs and for standard cab front axle tie rods. I'm trying to work out my 79 F-150 axle swap into my 95, but which tie rods are the right ones?

The tie rods for the 4x2 and 4x2 trucks are different. I can't imagine what else would be. Ford kind of kept the same thing going for 23 years. I guess I don't really know what you are asking.

I ran into this once, working on a '79 F150 supercab. The supercab runs a heavy duty suspension, many of the components on the front end of the supercab F150 are the same as a F250, so it may turn into a trial and error...

Yeah thats it. The supercab shares the same parts as an F250/F350. At least for those years. I don't remeber where i eard that but I am pretty sure thats it.
