The ones I have were for a 72 C10 inner tie rod to the bigger 73 outer tie rod. I'm sure a machine shop could make them fairly quick too..

I measured the tie rods today, the inner is 5/8" and the outer is 11/16" too big for your application but the earlier Chevs were smaller so I'd still give CPP a call..

I had them custom made at a machine shop near Toronto Ontario. I'm sure for anyone further than me could call him up and he could make it and ship. Turned out really good, and cheap.

Looks cosy around the HT lead and lambda boss area! It's amazing how quickly it starts getting congested. Enjoying this thread though,keep it coming.
